Periodontal (gum) Disease
Periodontal Disease Treatment in Atlanta, GA
It is a gum infection that first appears as tartar, a hardened type of plaque, an opaque film that covers the teeth. Bacteria that harm the delicate tissue around the gums attack tartar as it builds up. This is gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease. Gingivitis develops into periodontitis if it is not treated, and both the bone that supports your teeth and the tissue that surrounds them are eventually destroyed. There are very few early warning signs other than foul breath and bleeding gums. Before you know it, you are losing your teeth without understanding why, as the condition proceeds slowly and frequently without pain.
