What is periodontal (gum) disease?

Core tip:Periodontal disease is an infection that affects the gums and the underlying bone which supports the teeth. Bacteria are the cause

        What cause the periodontal disease? Periodontal disease is an infection that affects the gums and the underlying bone which supports the teeth. Bacteria are the cause for this infection.

        Bacteria are always present in the mouth and accumulate on the tooth surfaces after meals and drinks. They form a soft mass called “plaque”. Plaque is usually removed through regular tooth cleaning (brushing and cleaning between the teeth). However, if some plaque remains, an inflammation of the gums may result (red, swollen gums). 

 
        This inflammation, if not treated, can progress to periodontal disease (periodontitis). Where periodontal disease occurs, the bacteria grow down below the gum margin along the root surface. The gums detach from the tooth and form so called “pockets”. 
 
        As a result, the bone surrounding the teeth will retract away from the source of infection. With increasing bone destruction the tooth will lose its support. If this is left untreated it can lead to tooth loss.
