What is Periodontal Disease? 

Periodontal disease is also known as gum disease, and is the second leading cause of tooth loss. It is the result of germs growing around the tooth, and causing an infection in gum and bone holding your teeth in your jaw to erode away.

 

Since gum disease is painless in the early stages, many people will not notice they have problems until they notice a tooth has become loose. By then, it is often too late to save predictably.
