What causes periodontitis?
The good news about gum diseases like periodontitis is that they are avoidable and easily treated. The buildup of bacteria and plaque is what causes gum disease, which then if not treated, becomes more and more severe and becomes periodontitis. It is at this point that you are really in danger of losing your teeth, gums, and jaw.
What are some symptoms of
Periodontitis?
- Bleeding, swollen, discolored, fragile gum tissue
- Loose or missing teeth
