Could skin on back side of gums peel off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Advanced periodontal (gum) disease is an infection that can cause the gums to pull away from the teeth. If untreated, this will eventually lead to bone loss and loss of teeth. See your dentist or a periodontal specialist before it is too late.
