Dental Diseases: Step by Step [Infographic]

Dental diseases like tooth decay and gum disease don’t develop overnight. They develop slowly and progressively get worse. If you don’t recognize the signs and respond with a trip to the dentist, you could develop severe dental issues, including tooth loss. Gum disease starts out as minor inflammation around the gums called gingivitis. At this stage, improving your oral hygiene routine may be all you need to do to reverse the process.
