How much compensation can I get for my personal injury? Updated: Tuesday, 4th April 2017. One of the most common questions asked by people contemplating making a claim for compensation following an accident is how much compensation they will get.
All about gum disease. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a bacterial infection that causes a chronic inflammation of the gums and surrounding tissue. It is the major cause of about 70% of adult tooth loss, affecting nearly 80% of people at some point in their life.
Gum disease is mostly caused by improper oral hygiene that allows bacteria in plaque and calculus to remain on the teeth and infect the gums. But there are other factors that increase the risk of developing gingivitis. Smoking or chewing tobacco prevents the gum tissue from being able to heal.
