Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is an infection and inflammation of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth, primarily caused by bacteria in plaque buildup.
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection and inflammation of the tissues that surround and support your teeth. It is primarily caused by the buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on teeth. If not removed through regular brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar.
Homeopathy helps in managing gum diseases by offering a holistic, individualized approach designed to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, strengthen gum tissue, and address underlying systemic causes.
