Over time, poor brushing and flossing habits and lack of dental care can lead to plaque and bacteria buildup in the gumline of teeth. This can lead to inflammation of the gums and, eventually, gum disease. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a serious condition that can lead to receding gums and tooth loss. To prevent this, gum disease surgery to remove diseased tissue and bacteria is usually recommended.
