When the gum is affected negatively it has impact on our teeth as well. The bacteria, destroys the tissues supporting the teeth. You will hear this term also referred to as periodontal disease which is the medical term.

You may be wondering now where the bacteria originates from. Well, our mouths are so busy talking and eating, being open a lot, it is susceptible to attracting bacteria. Bacteria build up, turns into plaque. Plaque attaches or forms on your teeth. Normally this can be controlled with regular professional cleanings you get during your dental exams. Brushing your teeth after each meal and snack, and a thorough floss after brushing and meals is a good way to avoid fight off plaque build up.

If over the course of time you have not practiced good, daily oral hygiene, and hadn't made regularly scheduled visits to a professional for cleaning, you will move into the next stage of gum disease. This is when the plaque develops into a harder coating known as tarter. The substance is so hard or tightly attached to the teeth making it hard to remove. It can only be removed by a professional.
