Periodontal disease begins with the appearance of a bacterial plaque – a white deposit on the teeth that causes gingivitis. The most common symptoms are: redness, bleeding during brushing. As a rule, this disease is not accompanied by pain, and when it occurs they are really small. Gingivitis is caused by improper oral hygiene. It is a reversible disease, thanks to professional tooth cleaning and improved brushing.

Treatment of gingivitis involves removing bacterial plaque, tartar and improving oral hygiene. Proper tooth brushing will help prevent relapse.

Parodontosis is a destructive process that, if left untreated, leads to worn teeth. Between the tooth and the gum, bacteria-infected pockets are formed, which, if left untreated, deepen causing further bone and gum atrophy. The factors that favor the development of parodontosis are cigarette smoking, stress, diabetes, general illnesses, poor nutrition, and genetic determinants. Also gnashing with teeth can lead to even faster development of the disease.
