Gum Disease Treatment Newport Beach (Part I)

Periodontics is a field of dentistry that focuses on the treatment of gum disease. Periodontists may also perform periodontal cosmetic and plastic surgery. Periodontal diseases, however, may not be limited to the gums. They can also affect the jawbone and the ligament that holds your teeth to them.

Plaque is the leading cause of periodontal disease. The bacteria in plaque destroy the tissue and bone supporting the teeth. Plaque builds up around your teeth if they are left uncleaned. Teeth that are decayed or crooked can leave unreachable pockets that fill with plaque. Poorly-fitted dentures and oral piercings can also trap plaque. Tobacco, HIV, hormonal fluctuations, and certain medications can contribute to periodontal disease as well.

Please wait for part II.

Gingivitis is the medical term for early gum disease, or periodontal disease. In general, gum disease can be caused by long-term exposure to plaque, the sticky but colorless film on teeth that forms after eating or sleeping.
