Knowledge base - basic terminology

If a plaque and calculus are not removed, the accumulated bacteria can irritate and damage the gums that surround the teeth.

Gingivitis can progress, and if you don't get treatment, it can lead to inflammation of periodontium professionally referred to periodontitis.
