Prevent Gum Infection At Early Stage

If we do not clean our teeth, the harmless bacteria population inside the plaque changes into a harmful one that irritates the gum margin around the teeth. The immune system fights the dangerous bacteria and its products with its own potent defensive products. The constant battle between the body and the bacteria damages the surrounding tissue that supports the tooth. The tooth then slowly loses the attachment between its surface and the surrounding bone. The bone is destructed and the tooth becomes loose to the point were it no longer can function and has to be taken out. Gum infection is a very common disease that could affect the patient without clear symptoms or pain. The condition may go undetected for years before the patient becomes aware of it.
