Periodontitis
Untreated gingivitis can lead to periodontitis. Plaque can spread and grow below the gum line.
Toxins produced by the bacteria in plaque irritate the gums and where the tissues and bone that support the teeth are broken down and destroyed. Gums separate from the teeth, forming pockets between the teeth and gums that can become infected.
Eventually, teeth can become loose and may fall out or need to be removed.
Periodontitis diagnosis is typically classified by stage and grade.
