Dental Dictionary

Gum Disease (Periodontitis) refers to a number of inflammatory diseases affecting the tissues that surround and support the teeth. These diseases center on the progressive loss of the bone around the teeth, and if left untreated, can lead to the loosening and loss of teeth. Gum disease is caused by the combination of bacteria that grows on the tooth's surface and the overly aggressive immune response against these bacteria.
