Do I have gum disease?

Gum disease affects the bone, periodontal ligament, cementum and gums. The most common cause is plaque-induced inflammation. Plaque harbors millions of bacteria, leucocytes, protozoa and fungi. Bacteria are naturally always present in the oral cavity. However, when plaque is not removed on a daily basis, it causes foul odors common in a person with gum disease. Plaque hardens and calcifies and is then referred to as tartar, or calculus. Once the calculus builds up around the teeth, it causes the gums to pull away from the teeth, creating pockets which allow food and debris to accumulate even more. The teeth will eventually become loose.

The bacteria living in plaque can enter the bloodstream. Studies have shown that there is an increased risk of heart disease and heart attacks in those who have gum disease. It is recommended that a dental prophylaxis and thorough examination of the mouth be done every six months, preventing plaque buildup on teeth.
