GUM DISEASE: You may have Periodontal Disease (Gum Disease) and not realize it. This disease is the primary cause of the loss of teeth after 35. If caught in its early stages, however, periodontal disease can be reversed with proper care.

This inflammatory disease attacks the gums, bone and other supporting structures of the teeth.

The type of treatment you require depends on how advanced your particular case is. Treatments include Scaling and Root Planning, this procedure removes the calculus deposits from your teeth. Root Planning is the smoothing of the root surfaces so that the gum tissue can reattach to the tooth.
