General Health Information

Gum disease or periodontal disease is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Many people have gum disease or periodontal
disease and don’t even know it. Gum disease or periodontal disease,
which is caused by bacteria in plaque, infects the gums if it is
allowed to build up. However, this dental disease is still reversible
during this stage and can usually be eliminated by daily brushing and
flossing. Fortunately, with a little effort and effective bacterial
fighting toothpaste, gum disease or periodontal disease can be avoided.
