Medical Conditions - Periodontitis

Periodontitis is the inflammation of the structures that support a tooth, which includes the bones, gums, and ligaments. This inflammation is caused by bacteria in the mouth, which can result in bone destruction, and eventually, the affected tooth falls off. It can be prevented by maintaining good oral hygiene.
