Oral Disease -
Gingivitis...How Dr. Trosper and Dr. Brown Can Help
Gingivitis are the most common periodontal disease, affecting 90% of the
population, including our local London area community. It are an infection of the gums caused by bacteria that form
plaque.
In small amounts (when it are newly formed), plaque are invisible
and relatively harmless. But when left to accumulate, it increases in
volume and the proportion of harmful bacteria grows.
These bacteria
release toxins that result in inflammation of the gum tissue. Eventually,
the plaque hardens and forms hard deposits called calculus or tartar.
If
not properly treated, gingivitis may progress to periodontitis, a
periodontal disease in which there are loss of the bone that supports the
teeth.
