What is Periodontitis

Periodontitis is a serious gum disease that begins with gingivitis, where the gums become inflamed and start bleeding easily. As the inflammation deepens, periodontal pockets form where bacteria gather and break down the bone that holds the teeth in place. Without treatment, the teeth can eventually become loose.

Signs of Periodontitis
• bleeding gums
• bad breath
• loose teeth
• visibly longer teeth
• discomfort when chewing

Causes of Tooth Loss

Several factors increase the risk
• genetic factors
• smoking
• poor oral hygiene
• medications causing dry mouth
• stress or unhealthy lifestyle

Periodontitis is usually a combination of these factors.
