PERIODONTAL DISEASE
“Periodontal diseases are a very
serious problem”
Gingivitis and periodontitis are very common diseases
produced by bacteria we have in our mouths and that we can
transmit to other people. If these bacteria are not
correctly eliminated they affect our gums and produce
inflammation.
The inflammation subsequently moves below the gum and
destroys the bone and the tissues that support the teeth,
the result being tooth mobility and loss, and possible
inflammatory alterations in the rest of the body.
These diseases advance without our knowing.
