Periodontitis, also known as gum disease and pyorrhea, is a set of inflammatory diseases affecting the tissues surrounding the teeth. Periodontitis involves progressive loss of the alveolar bone around the teeth, and if left untreated, can lead to the loosening and subsequent loss of teeth.
Since periodontal diseases are caused by bacteria, dentists and periodontists will usually use antibiotics. Periodontists are dentists who specialize in gum disease.
