Dental A to Z
Chronic
A chronic condition is a long-term disease, illness or injury (as opposed to an ‘acute’ condition which is short-term.).
Chronic conditions are extremely difficult to cure permanently and tend to recur. Long term monitoring of these conditions is essential. The most common chronic dental conditions are associated with gum disease. To avoid this regular dental visits are essential.
