WHO IS AT RISK FOR GUM DISEASE?
Without proper oral care at home and regular dental visits, gum inflammation can be a risk for everyone. If dental plaque is not routinely removed from the teeth, especially from the gum line, with proper brushing and flossing, it can lead to gingivitis which, if left untreated, can lead to periodontitis. In addition, people with uncontrolled diabetes or women who are pregnant are at increased risk for developing gingivitis.
