Bacteria form a clear, sticky film called plaque that build ups around your gumline, leading to inflamed and infected gums. Left untreated, the infection causes your gums to separate from teeth, creating \u201cpockets\u201d where more bacteria accumulates. In advanced stages of gum disease, the infection spreads from your gums to the bone that supports your teeth. Your teeth will loosen and possibly fall out. <\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"item-title faq-item-title-a  slide-down-trigger\" data-close-title=\"faq-item-title-a\" data-close-desc=\"faq-item\" data-target=\"faq-item-2\" itemprop=\"name\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Can you cure gum disease at home?<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-item-2\" class=\"faq-item item-desc typo \" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p itemprop=\"text\">No, you can\u2019t cure gum disease at home \u2013 not even in its early stages. Gum disease is caused when bacteria-filled plaque and tartar build up in the area between your teeth and gums. This area can\u2019t be reached with a toothbrush or floss. Using special equipment, your dental team removes all of the bacteria from this area and then smoothes your tooth roots to make it difficult for more bacteria to accumulate. <\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"item-title faq-item-title-a  slide-down-trigger\" data-close-title=\"faq-item-title-a\" data-close-desc=\"faq-item\" data-target=\"faq-item-3\" itemprop=\"name\"><i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i> Is gum disease treatment painful?<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"faq-item-3\" class=\"faq-item item-desc typo \" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p itemprop=\"text\">Your gum disease treatment at Shawn A.
