​​What's Gum Disease? In your mouth, bacteria are constantly forming a sticky substance called plaque on your teeth. Brushing & flossing can help you get rid of plaque, but the substance can also harden &, in turn, form another substance called tartar. In many cases, the buildup of plaque & tartar can lead to the development of gingivitis, a condition marked by inflammation of the gums. When left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis ("inflammation around the tooth"). Not only known to cause tooth loss, periodontitis has been linked to heart disease as well. #health Join us today @HeathSafetyTps
