Periodontal (Gum) Disease Juno Beach disease is an infection of the gums and bone that surround and support your teeth. There are a variety of treatments for gum disease depending on the stage of disease, and your overall health. When gum pockets exceed 3mm in depth, the risk for periodontal disease increases. As pockets deepen, more bacteria are able to colonize, eventually causing a chronic inflammatory response by the body that destroys gingival and bone tissue. Eventually this leads to tooth loss.
