The reason for 70% of tooth loss
Many tissues in the mouth are critical for maintaining health. The gums, which surround and support the teeth, are a very important tissue in this context. Inflammatory conditions that occur in these tissues are called gum diseases.
70% of tooth loss in adults is caused by gum diseases that begin with bleeding gums. If gum inflammation is not resolved in the short term, it progresses and reaches the alveolar bone, where it is involved.
