🦷 Gum Disease

Gum disease causes nearly 70% of adult tooth loss. It begins when plaque builds up beneath the gumline, turning into tartar and letting bacteria destroy your jawbone.

It’s like bugs eating the soil under a tree — eventually, it collapses.

🔍 Early Signs
  • Red, swollen, or tender gums
  • Bleeding while brushing
  • Bad breath or gum recession

Gingivitis is reversible if treated early.

  • Smoking or poor hygiene
  • Clenching, grinding, or misaligned teeth
