Solution to Gum Disease!!

Gum disease or Periodontitis disease refer to the growth of bacteria which will lead to the destruction of tissue that are around the teeth. The term periodontal basically means around the teeth. Same as the meaning periodontal refers to the infection of tissue around the teeth.

There are two stages of the gum disease that is gingivitis and periodontitis. 
Gingivitis and Periodontitis.
Gingivitis is the starting stage of gum disease. If left untreated, gingivitis will usually progress to periodontitis. Apical periodontitis is the inflammation of all the supporting structures of the teeth in the area surrounding the apex of the tooth. When left untreated gingivitis might progress to periodontitis.
