Profile:
The word âperiodontalâ literally means âaround the tooth.â Periodontal or gum disease is a chronic bacterial infection wherein the soft and hard tissues surrounding the tooth are affected. This is caused by plaque, a sticky, colorless film that adheres to the teeth. The bacteria in plaque releases toxins or poisons that cause the gums to become inflamed, a condition now called gingivitis.
