What is periodontal disease or gum disease?
Gum disease (also called periodontal disease) is an infection of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth. Gum disease is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Because it is usually painless many people do are not aware that they have gum disease. In the general population of Australia about 10% have advanced or severe gum disease, 80% have mild to moderate disease and 10 % have no gum disease.

Gum disease is caused by plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on the teeth. Bacteria creates toxins that both damage the gums and result in a reaction by the body which results in loss of bone and supporting tissue of the teeth. Gum disease is still subject to intense research. Scientists are looking at ways to kill off the offending bacteria and how to make the bodies reactions to the toxins less severe.
