Periodontal Treatment - Gum disease
One of the most common diseases in the world is gum disease (periodontal disease). Teeth are not cemented into bone but are supported by thousands of little ligaments to the walls of the bone socket. Plaque may cause an inflammatory process that destroys the tissues supporting the tooth.
Periodontal treatments vary from simple cleaning to grafting to restore missing tissue. Your dentist will advise you accordingly but the most important thing will always remain good oral health care at home. |
