The loss, or fear of the loss, of one's teeth can be functionally and psychologically devastating for most people. Gum disease, also called "periodontitis" is the disease which causes people to lose their teeth. Periodontitis is found in greater than 50% of the adult population. Periodontitis, in its "juvenile" form may also affect the health of the gums of patients who are in their teens.
Understanding gum disease, from the patient's perspective, can be a complex issue. This website will deal with gum disease and its treatments. For an in-depth review of the Signs, Causes, Risk Factors, and Treatments of Gum Disease click on The Treatment of Gum Disease.
