What is Periodontal Disease?
• Periodontal Disease is also commonly known as Gum Disease
• This affects the gums and the bone that keeps our teeth in place—it is a bacterial infection
• Plaque is an invisible layer of bacteria that collects naturally on everyone’s teeth from the food and drinks we consume daily

What is Periodontal Disease?
• If plaque is not properly removed by brushing and flossing, it becomes calcified (or hardened) and is called calculus or tartar
• Tartar has to be removed by a hygienist’s instruments or gum irritation and bone loss can occur
BONE LOSS IS IRREVERSIBLE

How Does Smoking Affect Periodontal Disease?
• Constricts blood vessels—bleeding gums is the first sign of inflammation and infection in gums; because smoking constricts vessels, smoker’s gums bleed very little—often hiding the problem
• Lack of healing/Immunosuppression—smoking prevents the body’s reaction to fight off infection; the immune system is down causing pockets to be unable to attach to the tooth surface
• It is the nicotine that makes one addicted, but it is all the chemicals that make cigarettes dangerous
