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.
Gum Disease (Periodontal Disease) Gum disease is the most common term used for periodontal disease. However, there are other names referring to gum disease such as periodontitis and gingivitis. Regardless of the name, gum disease begins with bacteria growth in your mouth and ends with tooth loss if not properly treated. About 75% of all American adults have some form of periodontal disease after the age of 35.
