Denied
The Board denied service connection for tooth loss due to chronic gum disease and not any in-service trauma or other service-related disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is persuasively against finding that the Veteran suffered oral bone loss, including loss of teeth 7 through 10, as a result of service trauma.
