Community Service Order (law) and periodontitis (sh)


Community Service Order (law)


A sentence, which may have been given instead of detention to an offender over 16. He or she must work for between 40 and 240 hours, unpaid, in the community, supervised by a Probation Officer.

periodontitis (sh)




Inflammation of soft tissues around the teeth (see tooth).

Poor dental hygiene leads to deposition of bacterial plaque on the teeth below the gum line, irritating and eroding nearby tissues. If it is not treated, the gum margin recedes, exposing the roots of the teeth. The process eventually involves the bone anchoring the teeth, which loosen and may fall out. Removal of all plaque deposits and affected soft tissues can arrest but not reverse bone deterioration.
