Dr Foyle told the New York Times: “The bone supporting the teeth starts to break down, leaving the roots of the teeth exposed and sensitive in some cases."Those who have diabetes or grind their teeth are also at increased risk while those who get fewer cavities may be more prone to the disease as the gum disease bacteria has no competition.
