Periapical or Apical Periodontitis: What Is This Disease?
We normally hear periapical periodontitis in dental consultations as one of the common infections that you can get when you have damaged teeth and gums. It is somewhat synonymous with apical periodontitis in that they both affect the tissue around (periapical) or at the tip (apical) of the tooth roots. We visit Lotus Smiles Dental today in Sunbury, VIC to discover what this dental condition is, its types, and what treatment and prevention can we do to combat it.
