Gingivitis is the most common periodontal disease, or gum disease. It is an infection of the gums caused by bacteria that forms plaque. In small amounts (when it is newly formed), plaque is invisible and relatively harmless. But when left to accumulate, it increases in volume and the proportion of harmful bacteria grows. This harmful bacteria releases toxins that result in inflammation of the gum tissue, which eventually hardens into plaque that forms deposits called calculus or tartar. The best dental care is always preventative dental care. It is important to see the dentist on a regular basis to have teeth cleaned and gum health maintained. A little prevention goes a long way.

Monday, April 20, 2009Plaque Causes Gingivitis
Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that coats teeth. It consumes sugars in the foods we eat, and releases acids as a waste product. These acids slowly eat away the enamel of your teeth and, if left unchecked, plaque can cause tooth decay. Over time the plaque layer on teeth can harden to become tartar or calculus. This hard layer continues to release acids, and is even harder to remove than regular plaque. Plaque is a leading cause of gingivitis, early stage gum disease.

Wednesday, August 20, 2008Gingivitis - Oral Periodontal DiseaseGingivitis is the most common periodontal disease, affecting 90% of the population, including our local Lexington area community. It is an infection of the gums caused by bacteria that form plaque. In small amounts (when it is newly formed), plaque is invisible and relatively harmless. But when left to accumulate, it increases in volume and the proportion of harmful bacteria grows. These bacteria release toxins that result in inflammation of the gum tissue. Eventually, the plaque hardens and forms hard deposits called calculus or tartar. Information provided by Lexington Cosmetic Dentist, Anthony S. Feck, DMD Labels: Gingivitis, periodontal disease
