What is Gum Disease?
Periodontal disease is an infection that destroys the attached tissues – your gums and bone – that support the roots of your teeth. As plaque collects along your gumlines, the tissues become infected. Gradually, they pull back to create large pockets that house accumulations of additional plaque and calcified tartar.
