The infection is caused by destructive oral bacteria that live within plaque and tartar deposits beneath the gums and impacts the gums and underlying bone. Without timely gum disease treatment, the condition progressively destroys bone and supporting structures, leading to tooth mobility and often tooth loss. Beyond these oral effects, gum disease is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions.
