Gum Care and Periodontal Disease - Smiles On Chapel

Dental plaque builds up on our teeth every day, caused by a combination of the food we eat, the saliva in our mouths and poor oral hygiene. While most plaque can be washed away by brushing, if it’s left to build-up, millions of bacteria will lead to gum disease. In order to fight this infection, our bodies will destroy the gum tissue and bone supporting our teeth, eventually leading to irreversible tooth loss.
