If you have been told you have periodontal (gum) disease or gingivitis, youre not alone. Many adults in the U.S. currently have some form of the disease. Periodontal diseases range from simple gum inflammation to serious disease that results in major damage to the soft tissue and bone that support the teeth. In the worst cases, teeth are lost.
Whether your gum disease is stopped, slowed, or gets worse depends a great deal on how well you care for your teeth and gums every day, from this point forward.
Gingivitis is actually a real epidemic about 95% of the population suffers from periodontal disease of some degree during their life. The source of the infection is bacteria that inhabit the oral cavity, infected the teeth (plaque), hardened and becomes tartar. But dont worry there are natural remedies to heal and prevent the reoccurrence of periodontal disease.
