Why do 75% of Americans have gum disease?
Periodontal (gum) diseases is a chronic bacterial infection of the gums and bones surrounding teeth. Left untreated, it can eventually lead to tooth loss and other health problems. Periodontal disease often starts out as bacteria in plaque causing the surrounding teeth to become inflamed. It most commonly shows up in the form of gingivitis and periodontitis.
