A tooth lost to gum disease is a tooth lost forever. Gum disease is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. However, in addition to treating gum disease, periodontists are also experts in placing dental implants â a convenient and comfortable way to permanently replace missing teeth.
The most common cause of gum disease is poor dental care. It means youâre not brushing and flossing enough. The plaque in your mouth hardens into tartar and this erodes the bone and forces your gums back, also causing them to swell.
