What is Periodontitis?
Periodontitis (or "gum disease") is an infection of the gums and bone surrounding the teeth. The infection is caused by bacteria in your mouth that results in slow, painless destruction of the gums and bone. This can happen without your knowledge. Common symptoms are bleeding gums, bad breath, loose teeth, receding gums and abscesses. Periodontitis causes 70% of all tooth loss in adults*.
