Nearly 80% of Americans have some form of periodontal (gum) disease, and it is the #1 cause of adult tooth loss! Often causing little discomfort and producing few symptoms in the early stages, this aggressive disease can lead to the destruction of the connective tissue that holds your teeth in place.
