Periodontal disease, commonly called gum disease is the infection of the soft tissues in the mouth that support your teeth.  There are two forms of breakdown that categorize the condition.  If only the gums are involved in the breakdown, it is called gingivitis. If the bone beneath the tissue and the connecting fibers are involved, it is called periodontitis. 

There are many causes of periodontal disease. Your teeth and gums can be covered in a sticky membrane of bacteria called plaque.  Even if you brush and floss your teeth daily plaque may still remain below the gumline.  Plaque contains bacteria which produce toxins that are detrimental to the gums. 

If you don't remove the plaque daily, it will develop into tartar, which is a much harder substance.  Tartar is very difficult to remove with simple brushing and flossing. You must have it removed by a professional dental hygienist.

If you don't remove the tartar and it gets below your gum line, it will cause infection and inflammation. However, this process may not hurt at all, so you may not notice it. Regular check ups with Dr. Kay can spot and address early signs of periodontal disease to recreate a smile with healthy teeth and gums.
