Dental Insurance Healthcare, What is Periodontal disease

Wednesday, Sep. 17th 2014 1:12 PM

Periodontal disease (Gum Disease) is a serious infections that, left untreated, may lead to tooth loss.  Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth. Periodontal disease can affect one tooth or many teeth.

It begins when the bacteria in plaque causes the gums to become inflamed.  If left untreated by a dentist, plaque can spread and grow below the gum line. Toxins produced by the bacteria in plaque irritate the gums. The toxins stimulate a chronic inflammatory response and the tissues and bone that support the teeth are broken down and destroyed.
