What are the Stages of Gum Disease?

When you have infected tissues surrounding your teeth, the common result is gum disease.

If left untreated in adults, gum disease can lead to tooth loss, and some studies even link severe gum disease (also called periodontal disease) with heart disease, diabetes and stroke.
