Periodontal Disease is a more advanced stage of gingivitis and gum disease. All three terms are basically descriptions for different stages of the same disease. Scientists, periodontists and other dental professionals will go further in their classification of the stages of the disease, but the cause is the understood to be the same.

Periodontal disease is fairly serious and can lead to tooth loss. In fact, it is the number one cause of tooth loss and not cavities as one might suppose. The area of most concern is that most people don't understand that they have this problem, nor do they have the information they need to effectively fight against it or stop it from occurring in the first place.

Unfortunately, many people have too much faith that brushing and flossing is all they have to do to avoid periodontal disease. This is perpetuated by the fact that this really is enough for some people.

However, because the statistics are so high when it comes to the number of people who actually have gum disease, common sense dictates that mere brushing and flossing actually is not enough for many or even most people.

What is to be done about this? It seems that there is a woeful gap in knowledge between the commonly taught brushing and flossing and what really works to fight or prevent periodontal disease. There are tools and techniques that you can utilize to do more towards preventing the build up of plaque that eventually leads to the more advanced problems. Look for the links at the bottom of this article to find out what you can do to prevent periodontal disease or stop it from progressing.

Yet, you should be aware that there is not one thing that works for everyone. If it were so simple, then the large industry that is supported by this problem would not exist. With a little bit of effort, you can discover what will work best for you.

Don't underestimate the number of people who have this problem. If you are in doubt, find a periodontist's office and visit the lobby. Become informed on what you can do today to prevent this problem from harming your family or yourself.
