Periodontal simply refers to the tissue around the teeth. Periodontal disease, or gum disease, is most commonly caused by the infrequent removal of plaque and calculus (tartar) buildup from your teeth.
Unfortunately, periodontal-related problems are often discovered after they have persisted for an extended period. Proper oral hygiene, daily dental care, and regular dental checkups will minimize the risk of gum disease. Gum disease ranges from mild (gingivitis) to moderate and severe (periodontitis). Treatments are available for every case of gum disease, but the earlier the treatment, the less irreversible the injury will be to contend with.
Gum disease's effects can damage your dental and systemic health. Through proper preventative care and oral hygiene, you can avoid problems associated with gum disease.
