Among adults in the developed world, periodontal disease (also known as periodontitis and gum disease) is the leading cause of tooth loss.\u00a0 Periodontitis is a disease that develops when toxins found in plaque cause irritation or inflammation of the gingiva (gum tissue) within the mouth.\u00a0 This can ultimately lead to the destruction of the gum tissue and the underlying bone due to the bacterial infection that develops, commonly known as gingivitis.\u00a0 There is also a risk of tooth loss or loose teeth as a result of untreated periodontal disease.<\/span><\/p> There are many types of periodontal disease that can affect your teeth including aggressive, chronic, necrotizing periodontitis, and periodontitis associated with systemic diseases.\u00a0 In order to prevent further bone loss and tissue damage caused by clinical periodontal disease, each type of periodontal disease has its own distinct symptoms and characteristics that should be addressed by your dentist as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t It is extremely important to keep in mind that periodontal disease can progress without causing any signs or symptoms, such as pain, or any visible signs or symptoms.\u00a0 The importance of regular dental checkups can’t be overstated.
