Periodontitis is a set of inflammatory diseases affecting the periodontium, i.e., is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue and destroys the bone that supports your teeth. It is caused by microorganisms that adhere to and grow on the tooth's surfaces, along with an over-aggressive immune response against these microorganisms. It results in progressive loss of the alveolar bone around the teeth, and if left untreated, can lead to the loosening and subsequent loss of teeth. Periodontitis can cause tooth loss or worse, an increased risk of heart attack or stroke and other serious health problems.
