Periodontitis
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Periodontitis can occur in individuals of all ages; as with gingivitis. Where gingivitis affects the gum and soft tissue of the mouth, periodontitis affects the surrounding bone structure. This is a much more, non reversible disease, which will be determined through a number of factors by your dental team. Although periodontitis is not reversible it is possible to stop the disease from further damaging the gums. By having your regular cleanings this will prevent harmful bacteria from entering the surrounding area and aids in the healing process.
