Why Do Teeth Experience Gum Infections?
It is common to see the third molars being the focus of an infection, whether visible or not.
• Wisdom teeth are more likely to become infected when they come out partially (semi-included) or completely in the mouth. Poor oral hygiene allowing the accumulation of dental plaque is an important cause of infection in the wisdom teeth region. The formation of tooth decay also contributes to the spread of infection in the tooth and its environment.
