Periodontitis
is an inflammatory disease that affects the gum tissue and bone supporting the teeth.
Left untreated, gum disease leads to tooth loss and has been associated with more severe health issues
such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke and impotence.
A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in and has received extensive training in the
prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease and in the placement of dental implants.
Periodontists are experts in the treatment of oral inflammation.
