Gum disease (sometimes called periodontal or gingival diseases) are infections that hurt the gums and bone that hold teeth in place. When the board remains in your teeth too long, it forms a hard layer and damaging, called plaque, which can not be cleaned with a toothbrush. The longer remain tartar and plaque on their teeth, the greater the damage they cause. Their gums may redness, swell and bleed easily. This is called gingivitis.

If gingivitis is not treated, over time can cause your gums are collected on top of your teeth and forming small pockets that can become infected. This is called periodontitis. Without proper treatment, this infection may damage the bones, gums and the tissue that holds your teeth. Over time, you can loosen your teeth and your dentist would have to extract them.

 Fluorine is found in some mineral water in the tap water in some areas in table salt, including enriched fluoride in toothpaste and mouthwash fluorinated.
 The topical fluoride (toothpaste, mouthwash, applications of fluoride in cabinet) promotes remineralization.
 
 A healthy diet is also important.
