Periodontal (gum) diseases, including
gingivitis and periodontitis, are serious infections that, left
untreated, can lead to tooth loss. The word periodontal literally means
"around the tooth." Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial
infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the
teeth.Periodontal disease can affect one tooth or many teeth. It begins
when the bacteria in plaque (the sticky, colorless film that constantly
forms on your teeth) causes the gums to become inflamed.
