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.
One of the major defensive responses mediated by the immune system is inflammation of the gums, usually the first tell tale sign of periodontal disease to be observed. This inflammation is actually the immune system at work, trying to isolate the disease-causing bacteria and prevent spread to other parts of the body.
