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.
Though bacterial plaque causes gum disease, tartar buildup gives bacterial plaque a place to thrive. In the first stage of gum disease (gingivitis), your gums become red, swollen and bleed easily due to plaque adhering along the tooth and gumline causing inflammation around the teeth.
