Hear What Our Patients Have to Say About Their Journey
What causes gum disease?
The primary cause of gum disease is bacterial plaque—a soft, sticky, light-yellow layer of bacteria that forms on the teeth. If not removed, this plaque interacts with saliva and hardens into tartar at the junction between the teeth and gums.
A weakened immune system lowers the body’s ability to fight infections, which can increase the risk of gum disease.
Conditions affecting the immune system, such as diabetes, AIDS, and certain cancers, also contribute to the development of gum diseases.
Additionally, habits like teeth clenching or grinding can damage periodontal tissues and lead to gum disease.
How can gum disease be prevented?
The best way to protect your teeth and gums is to brush regularly, clean between teeth with dental floss, and use mouthwash to reduce bacteria. Regular dental check-ups allow for early detection and treatment, including tartar removal if needed, to prevent gum infections.
