If youâre like most people, you would probably guess that itâs cavities. Unfortunatelyâ¦youâd be wrong. It is generally accepted that the leading cause of tooth loss in people over 35 is periodontitis, more commonly known as gum disease. In people under 35, cavities are the leading cause of tooth loss. Teeth are normally held firmly in place under your gums by a strong bone called alveolar bone.

So war broke out between them, the Republicans vs the Democrats. This is why the Southern States were so solid Democrat for over 100 years after the Civil war.
