General Health Information

Periodontal
disease start with the accumulation of bacteria and when it
destroys the antibodies and weakens the immune system. As bacteria
develops, they reside in the between the teeth and gums and produces
plaque. And when plaque accumulates and hardened it forms into tartar
and causes infection to occur thus resulting to gingivitis having
red, swollen and inflamed gums.

Bacteria
stimulates inflammatory immune cells, thus it promotes inflammation.
Increased inflammation further damages the gums and risk of further
infections spreading to the bones and tissues of the teeth and gums.
Untreated periodontal disease can lead to serious dental conditions
such as tooth loss at worse.

Preventing
bacteria to build up in the mouth and to form into plaques is the
best and effective way in preventing periodontal disease. Oral
hygiene is the effective way in preventing bacteria build up through
regular brushing and and flossing.
