What are the Causes of Gum Disease?
What are the Causes of Gum Disease?
The main causes are plaque and tartar. We have millions of bacterias in our mouth that are both harmful and beneficial. The harmful bacteria build up in our gum in the form of plaque. If they are not brushed away on a daily basis, they can build up in a form of Tartar, which is made of bacterias. These tartar affect the gums by releasing toxins in the base. There is a small crevice in the backward gum of every tooth, where the bacterias grow in thousands. Periodontal Therapy involves cleaning, examining, and treating those areas of the gum.
Maintenance
Maintenance
The regular care after the cleaning is important to make sure that the bacteria do not start to repopulate around the gum. These bacterias are so fast that they can start repopulating within 24 hours of cleaning, which will ultimately lead to more tartar. That is why you need proper appointments every 4 – 6 times a year. Also, you have to take our prescription medication regularly, use mouthwash and recommended toothpaste as well.
