Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the periodontium, i.e., the supportive tissues that hold a tooth in its socket. It can cause detachment of the gums from the tooth structure. It begins with redness and swelling of gums, a condition known as gingivitis, and eventually progresses towards gum recession and bone loss. In severe periodontitis, you can lose one or more valuable teeth as a result.
