What is Periodontal Disease?
Periodontal
disease affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.
According to the American Dental Association, at least 60% of adults
in the United States have moderate-to-severe periodontal
disease! In a recent survey, 63% of Americans age 18 and older exhibited
some gingival bleeding (bleeding of the gums). Nearly 80% of all
employed Americans have some form of attachment loss (gums that
are pulling away from the teeth).
