You see your mouth more than we do, so make sure to keep up proper oral hygiene. We’ll go over these instructions and much moreatQuentin SmileDental . Periodontal disease, if left untreated and neglected can leave you without teeth. What happens is that bacteria and plaque buildup along the gum-tooth boundary and cause bone loss. Many times this bacteria and plaque combination manifests itself as calculus or tartar on the surface of teeth below the gum, and can appear dark green at times. This is the mineralized form of plaque and needs mechanical debridement in order to be treated. Due to bone loss around teeth with periodontal disease, the pocket depth between tooth and gum increases. This “periodontal pocket” can become a food trap that can lead to future caries.
