Periodontal Disease

	1Healthy periodontal tissue: Usually with a firm and tight gingiva. The tooth should have sufficient amount of bone surrounding it.
	2If you do not have a habit of regular scaling and polishing by dentist, or if you are not brushing you teeth and flossing in a right way, plaque and calculus will accumulate on your teeth and causing gum inflammation and gingival pocket. Plaque and calculus often grow downward into the gingival pocket, making it more difficult to clean.
	3When the oral hygiene keep degrading, bacteria from the plaque will damage the gum and bone, causing pain and mobility on the tooth. Tooth may exfoliate spontaneously in severe cases.
	4Having a professional scaling and polishing in every 6 to 9 months can prevent periodontal disease.
