Are You Savvy about Gum Disease? [quiz]

Gum disease is sneaky. In its initial stages, you may not even realize you have it. But the earlier periodontal disease is diagnosed, the easier and less invasive the treatment.

Left untreated, gum disease will lead to tooth loss — in fact, more adult teeth are lost to periodontal disease than to tooth decay. It is also associated with serious systemic health problems including diabetes, heart disease, and, some studies suggest, cancer.
