More than haunted houses or scary movies, the really frightening threat lurking around the corner, especially this time of year, is gum disease.

It starts with bad bacteria in your mouth that feed off the sugary particles stuck between your teeth. Then it leads to a creeping infection that silently eats away at your gums and threatens the stability of your teeth.
