impossible to maintain the health of teeth, if a person has gum disease.The mucous membrane of the gums has a protective function and protects the teeth from the effects of disease-causing microbes.Gum disease, which last for a long time, not only cause pain and bad breath, but it is fraught with loss of teeth.After 33-35 years, about one third of the population suffers from periodontal disease to varying degrees of severity.
As a rule, a major cause of such abnormalities is plaque.It contains a lot of harmful bacteria.They constantly forms on the teeth, and poor-quality oral health go into tartar.
Among the factors that cause gum disease, dentists called:

Periodontitis - an inflammation of the gingival tissue that destroys the gums and bone alveoli.The fact that periodontal disease, which treatment should start promptly, may grow into one another.Periodontitis is a consequence of gingivitis.If it is not treated for a long period, the person may lose teeth.
Periodontal disease is caused by the development of the inflammatory process, which is caused by plaque.Sometimes degenerative periodontal disease, in addition to the plaque, may be caused by irregularities in the development of dental systems: bite defects and violations in the arrangement of the teeth.
scheme inflammatory process is as follows: the microbes break down the connection between the teeth and gums.Because of this plaque can penetrate deeper and deeper, damaging the enamel and gums.As a result, a pocket is formed in which bacteria accumulate and become the source of odor.Then there laying microbial plaque near the root of the tooth, granulation tissue becomes infected, resulting in a first resolves the root, and then the bone and tooth.The final stage - the patient's tooth loss.
Patients who develop gum disease, are always talking about increased sensitivity in this area, which increases after a meal.
important to know that even after the loss of a tooth gum disease do not pass, they are very complicate the prosthesis.Sometimes it takes a long period of treatment.
