Plaque around your teeth.
Periodontal diseases are caused by infection or plaque around your teeth and are a usual cause of tooth loss after 35 years of age. The first stage of periodontal diseases, and one of the most common is gingivitis. Gingivitis irritates the gums and causes it to swell and bleed. Periodontal diseases are occurring with greater frequency as people grow, and most people have the same signals to mediate between 30 and 40 years of age.
Periodontal disease is a type of periodontal disease more serious, that if no traffic is getting worse as they are hotbeds of infection between the teeth and gums. This causes your gums to separate from their teeth and damaged the bones that support to them. If the teeth are not supported, can fall. This disease is caused by bacteria in the mouth. You have a greater chance of it infecting these bacteria if:
* Someone in your family suffers from periodontitis
* Is smoker
* Suffers from a disease such as diabetes or HIV.
