Here is a list of information on gum disease:

– Gum disease can cause bleeding and swollen gums, persistent bad breath, tooth loss, and even bone loss in your jaw.
– The primary cause of tooth loss in adults is from gum disease being neglected.
– Gum disease is a severe infection that develops deep in your gums, which is the tissue surrounding your teeth.
– Plaque is the sticky film of bacteria that sticks to your teeth and gums after you eat and can leak into your gums that cause gum disease.
– There is very little to no pain with gum disease, which is why most people do not know they have it until they struggle with severe tooth loss and other problems.
