Yes, gum diseases will affect the tissues that support the teeth and keep them in place. If the gum disease is not treated, it would simultaneously damage the jaw bone, and cause small pockets/spaces which exposes between the gum and teeth. When this pocketing becomes severe, it gets infected and causes the teeth to become loose, which ultimately leads to extraction of tooth. Hence it is important to get your teeth treated by dentist Blacktown. Call us at 02 9621 5566 to request an appointment!
