Gum disease is also the leading cause for tooth loss in adults in the U.S. If left untreated, gum disease can cause a host of additional problems to other areas of the mouth and the rest of your body. Here are the top three reasons to cure gum disease right away: Preventing Periodontal DiseasePeriodontal disease is the most serious condition that affects the gums and teeth. This ailment can lead to receding gums, lose teeth, and worse bone and tooth loss.
