periodontal
Infection of the gums around the teeth.
*Periodontal Disease occurs when the gums get infected. If left untreated, gums can receed- giving the illusion of "long teeth". Periodontal Disease is usually caused by insufficient oral hygiene. Not flossing- can lead to this condition. Food can get caught between teeth and turn into acid and eat down the gums. Eventually, the gums can fade down so low, the teeth become loose and soon "fall out". . . Start brushing better and FLOSS YOUR TEETH. The biggest mistake we make is assuming "My grandmother didn't have teeth, so I won't either", or "My dad had his teeth pulled at my age". . . Most of the time it's due to Periodontal Disease and poor hygiene and simply "ignorance" of proper care. "Not having teeth" is NOT GENETIC. Hope this helped.
