Periodontal Facts:
- Periodontal disease is the primary cause of tooth loss in adults 35 and over.
- Each person's set of teeth is unique - much like their fingerprints - even in identical twins.
- Over the last 10 years, the proportion of people age 60 who've lost all their teeth has decreased from 33% to 25%
- Research proves that up to 30% of the population may be genetically susceptible to gum disease. Despite aggressive oral care habits, these people may be six times more likely to develop periodontal disease.

What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal disease (gum disease) take on many different forms but are usually a result of a coalescence of bacterial plaque biofilm accumulation of the gingiva (gum) and teeth, combined with host immuno-inflammatory mechanisms and other risk factors which lead to the destruction of the supporting bone around natural teeth. It is important to note that periodontal disease is usually painless and can go undetected until it's too late. If left untreated, periodontal disease can destroy the bone and soft tissue surrounding the teeth.
