Gum Disease Treatment in Korea
What is Gum Disease?
Gum disease triggers inflammation between the gums and the bone encompassing the teeth. If plaque on the tooth surface isn’t removed by brushing and remains untreated, it hardens over time. The toxins released by this hardened plaque seep into the gums, damaging them and the surrounding teeth. This could eventually lead to the teeth becoming loose and falling out.
Regular checkups for pain or other symptoms in teeth or gums, as well as early treatment, are ways to preserve natural teeth longevity
