The gums are the soft tissue that surrounds the teeth and help keep them in good condition.
Healthy gums are the foundation of strong teeth,so any potential problem within this soft tissue should be addressed immediately.
Plaque buildup affects the gums ,as it affects the teeth. Development of plaque into tartar can affect the gums and teeth in three different ways,namely gingivitis, periodontitis, and advanced periodontitis.
Most of us might have experienced the sharp pain on having something too cold or hot once in a while .
However,if this is a regular in occurrence and is accompanied by swelling and inflammation of the gums, the condition is called gingivitis and needs immediate attention and treatment.
If gingivitis is severe ,it can irreversibly effect the structure of your jawbone in a condition called periodontitis.
Untreated gingivitis with a further buildup of tartar affects the underlying bony structures causing gums to recede,dentures become loose ,and teeth to be lost eventually,a painful,irreversible condition known as advanced periodontitis.
