the gum and tooth, and later bone pocket.
3. The formation of bone pocket more serious diseases take place like paradont (support-holding apparatus of the tooth)
First, when gingivitis (gum inflammation) is developed it is turned into periodontics. All this leads to loosening and loss of the completely innocent teeth.
