Someone who struggles with gum disease should be concerned about tooth loss. While gingivitis is a condition that can be reversed, an infection can worsen and cause difficulties that are harder to manage. For someone with an advanced infection, tissue damage can sometimes make extractions necessary, or even cause tooth loss.
