Periodontal Gum Disease Treatment
Periodontal or Gum Disease is one of the most common diseases in Australia.
This disease is characterised by inflammation in your gums that is predominantly caused by bacteria in your mouth. This disease progresses in stages. The milder form of gum disease is gingivitis. At this stage, it can be a bit difficult to detect the disease. Most people overlook gingivitis and don’t consider it as a dental and oral health risk which is a terrible mistake.
As a consequence, the disease proceeds to the more severe form which is periodontitis. At this stage, the bacteria have already begun to attack the inner parts of your gums. As a result, air pockets form and your gums start to recede. In the worst case scenarios, periodontitis can lead to tooth loss as well as bone loss in your jaw.
