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.
