Periodontal literally means “around the tooth.” Periodontal diseases are serious bacterial infections that can destroy the attachment fibers and supporting bone that hold your teeth in place in your mouth.
Left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss. There are many forms of periodontal disease: Gingivitis, chronic periodontitis, aggressive periodonitis, periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic diseases and necrotizing periodontal diseases.
