Periodontal disease is the result of plaque that hardens to form a rough, porous substance called calculus. Bacteria that are found in Tartarian gums produce and release acids. These acids can cause the breakdown of the fibers, holding the gums firmly to the teeth, causing the periodontal pocket to become filled with more bacteria. The researchers found that there is a link between gum disease and cardiovascular disease, which could cause heart disease and stroke. If you have any of these symptoms, check with your dentist:
Gingival bleeding is brushing your teeth
Inflamed or soft gums
Lasting oral odor
Loose or separated teeth
