Gum (Periodontal) Disease
What Is Gum (Periodontal)
Disease?
Gum (periodontal) disease is an infection of the gums and
surrounding tissues that hold teeth in place. The two forms of gum
disease are gingivitis, a mild form that is reversible with good
oral hygiene, and periodontitis, a more severe form that can damage
the soft tissues and bone that support teeth. If left untreated,
periodontitis can lead to tooth loss.
