What is Gum Disease?

• Periodontal disease is an infection of the teeth,
  gums and the bone that surrounds the teeth.
• Gum disease is a serious disease which not only
  affects your teeth but your overall health too.
• When you dont brush or floss your teeth,
  bacteria in your mouth multiplies and produces
  acids that damage your teeth and causes
  inflammation of the gums and supporting
  structures of teeth.
• When the inflammation spreads below the gum line,
  it destroys the supporting structures of teeth
  which in turn result in tooth loss.
