When it comes to oral health, gum problems just do not seem to be a priority for most of us!. Truthfully, this is not our fault because the medical community has relegated gum disease problems to the back burner while focusing primarily on preventing tooth decay!. Although many suppliers of dental health products have informed consumers about the dangers of plaque and how it may lead to gum disease-nobody seems to be taking the time to educate any of us about how dangerous this medical problem truly is!. Are gum problems anything to worry about!? Unfortunately, too few of us know the answer to this question which is why gum disease prevention has utterly failed and there are millions of people afflicted with the condition!.

To begin with-yes, gum health is very important because the source of periodontal disease (the scientific name for gum disease which covers a broad range of stages and varieties of the condition) is an infection caused by anaerobic bacteria!. The infection causes the release of toxins which will destroy both gingival and bone tissue (your gums and teeth)!. If gum disease prevention fails, the tissue helping to support your teeth will be dissolved until they eventually end up falling out!.

Before you teeth fall out, however, pockets will form in your mouth in between your teeth and the gums!. These pockets form during advanced stages of periodontal gum disease because of the dissolving gum and bone tissue!. The anaerobic bacteria causing the infection will then invade these pockets and breed faster-accelerating both the condition and the medical consequences for not reversing gum disease will continue to grow!. Even before your teeth fall out, the harmful bacteria that cause gum disease may be putting you at increased risk for the following medical problems:

* Coronary Artery Disease
* Weakened Immune System
* Stroke
* Infective Endocarditis

In order to lower your chances for developing any of these conditions, gum disease treatment must focus upon destroying the bacteria responsible for all the problems!. These bacteria, the true causes of gum disease problems, will concentrate in the following areas:

* Behind plaque
* Behind tartar
* In pockets formed by advancing periodontal gum disease

Plaque can be removed with good oral hygiene practices such as brushing and flossing daily!. Tartar, however, must be scraped away by your dentist which is why it is such a good idea to have a teeth cleaning every six months!. If the tartar is not removed, then the bacteria will spread below the gum line and more advanced periodontal gum disease problems will occur and necessitate costly and expensive procedures like pocket reduction!.

Pocket reduction procedures must be performed by periodontists who first administer an antimicrobial treatment to kill off the bacteria that causes gum disease!. The periodontist may have to plane the roots of your teeth so that they are smooth and the gums can reattach to the bone!. However, the formation of pockets and other gum problems are easily avoided by practicing good oral hygiene and seeing your dentist for regular check-ups!
