Gums provide an essential protective barrier for your teeth. If bacteria begin to invade them, you may develop gum disease, also called periodontal disease. Poor dental hygiene, tobacco use, other health conditions, and heredity factors may all play a part. Left unchecked, gum disease can lead to tooth loss, bone loss, and even serious systemic health problems.
