Gum disease could lead to tooth loss but the primary way people lose them is through infections due to cavities. The infection weakens the tooth and the jawbone it's rooted in as well as can lead to loss of the root nerve. At a certain point the tooth is too loose or weak and has to be removed to prevent further infection and/or to treat the existing infection.
