Periodontitis:

"GUM DISEASE" or is the leading cause of tooth lost among adults over the age of 30's.

It's a bacterial infection caused by deposits of plague and hardened tartar around and under the gum line. If the plague and tartar remain on the teeth for a long period of time, the bacteria will destroy the bone that supports the teeth, and the result is the loosening of teeth, swelling and bleeding of the gum, pain to biting hard food.

The treatment for this type of disease involves scraping on the surface of the tooth below the gum line, removing the bacteria contaminated tartar, and make the root cleaner so that the gum can heal.

Gum disease can be prevented by thorough daily plague removal by brushing, by flossing, and regularly visiting us for professional cleanings.
