Periodontal Disease is the result of Plaque; a colourless bacteria which forms within the mouth. If plaque is not brushed away, calculus may form on teeth. Calculus causes gums to slip away from teeth, creating pockets. These pockets will eventually fill with plaque, causing the deterioration of bone structure and tooth loss. Recent studies indicate that the risk of fatal heart disease is twice as high for individuals with severe periodontal disease, and increases the risk of stroke by over 50%. It has also known to aggravate the severity of diabetes.
The latest evidence indicates that pregnant women with severe gum disease are seven times more likely to have a premature baby.
