Plaque is relentlessly forming on our teeth. Even those who are quite disciplined when it comes to oral health habits fight this battle. If this sticky film of bacteria isn’t professionally removed from time to time, gums can become diseased and inflamed.
The first stage is gingivitis. If neglected it becomes periodontitis. It is estimated that almost half of all adults over the age of 30 suffer from this advanced form of gum disease.
This causes the gums to pull away from your teeth. Small pockets created below the gum line trap more food and bacteria, worsening the situation.
That’s when scaling and root planing may be necessary.we at Apple Dental would consider it a privilege to be of service
