What is gum disease?

Bacteria causes gum tissues to become inflamed as the body’s immune system reacts to its presence. Plaque and tartar deposits consist of bacteria so when near the gum line, they cause the gums to flare up. Mild gum disease is perfectly reversible through trips to the hygienist and regular brushing and interdental cleaning at home.

If left untreated, mild gum disease progresses to periodontitis. This condition is a lot more aggressive as it leads to the gum tissues receding, creating pockets between the tooth and gum. At this stage, periodontal treatment can manage the condition, but it’s a life-time condition.
