parodontitis
Inflamed tooth surroundings
Parodontitis is an alternate spelling of periodontitis, a serious gum disease in which bacterial infection damages the soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth.
Left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss.
The condition typically develops from untreated gingivitis and is characterized by receding gums, deep pockets between teeth and gums, and eventual loosening of teeth.
The dentist diagnosed her with parodontitis and recommended deep cleaning.
