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.
Periodontal disease is not contagious and is not a condition you can catch from another person. The condition also known as gum disease (loosening of teeth) is not even caused by decayed teeth, and even healthy teeth can be affected. The disease often starts between the teeth where cleaning is more difficult.
