Gingivitis and Periodontal Disease
Gingivitis is caused by the accumulation of plaque and calculus
on and around the neck of the tooth. Plaque is composed
of bacteria that builds up where the tooth meets the gum.
Calculus is mineralized plaque. If this buildup is not
removed from the teeth, it causes swelling, redness and
tenderness, pain and, often times, bleeding of the soft
tissues around the tooth.
Treatment for gingivitis includes various forms of home and
veterinary dental health care. If not treated promptly
and properly, this condition can progress to advanced stages
of gum disease. Advanced stages of gum disease can
lead to severe pain, tooth loss, gum recession and bone loss. [more] |
