Gum disease, known as Periodontal Disease Too, commences with bacterial growth in the mouth, triggering localised inflammation of the gum tissue. This inflammation can progress to affect the bone that surrounds and provides support to your teeth. It is commonly initiated by bacteria residing in dental plaque, which forms a microbial biofilm on the teeth and gums
The common cause of Gum Disease is poor oral hygiene. When brushing and flossing are not performed effectively, the potential for bacterial buildup is heightened.
