The Spanish Society of Periodontics and Osseointegration states that almost 60% of adults between 35 and 44 years in our country suffer from gingivitis, or inflammation of the gums, while more than 25% live with periodontitis or “pyorrhea” as it was known previously.

In these cases, what happens is that tartar builds up in the patient’s teeth and is introduced under the gums, causing destruction of the supporting tissues of the teeth.
