What is gum disease?


My mom came home from the dentist and said they couldn't clean her teeth because she has gum disease. She flosses everyday. What is making her have this, and what is the worst that can happen?

I am worried.

infection in gums from bacteria...tooth loss will follow..she may need gum surgery to clean down deep in gums,which is painful enough ,but necessary
