Mobility and dental gums
The anchor teeth (alveolar bone and periodontal ligament) is gradually destroyed, making the teeth mobile: they move and can differ from each other. The gum follows the “leakage” of the bone to the tip of the root: the root appears gradually, the loosening of teeth. If no treatment is undertaken, the destruction continues until the fall of spontaneous tooth.
Periodontal abscess
The destruction of the tissues supporting the tooth causes the formation of periodontal pockets, real nests bacteria to cause infection localized phenomenon: the periodontal abscess which results in seepage of pus.
Gingival recession
With age, gums tend to descend, leaving the root unprotected. This phenomenon is called gingival recession. The root is exposed to the oral environment. It is more susceptible to cavities, dental sensitivity increases, because it is not covered with enamel.
