Stages of Periodontal Disease

See the movie

Periodontal disease is a condition that progresses often without any subjective symptoms. Because periodontal disease does not cause pain, it is liable to progress unnoticed to the point where the bone supporting the teeth starts to dissolve and the teeth finally fall out.
