What
is gum disease?
Bacteria
in plaque can realease substances that irritate & inflame gum tissues.This
condition is called Gingivitis.When plaque is not removed,it hardens
around thr gum line & forms Tartar.The infection then spreads to
the bone supporting the tooth & eventually,the tooth may fall out.
this is called PERIODONTAL DISEASES OR
PYORRHOEA.Gum diseases may also take the form of a gum boil which result
from infected pulp. As pus collects,it works its way through the end
of the root and into the jaw bone and pushes out the gum to resemble
a boil. [click
