Both dental decay and periodontal disease are diagnosable and treatable bacterial infections. They are distinctly different infections, with dental decay occurring on the supragingival surfaces of the teeth and periodontal infections occurring in the gingival tissue approximating the subgingival plaque. The bacteria involved and the pathophysiology of these infections are distinctly different.
龋齿和牙周病都是可诊断和可治疗的细菌感染。它们是截然不同的感染,龋齿发生在牙齿的龈上表面,而牙周感染发生在靠近龈下菌斑的牙龈组织中。所涉及的细菌以及这些感染的病理生理学明显不同。
