The periodontal disease is an inflammation that affects the tissues surrounding the tooth and the base (periodontium).

The inflammation is caused by the action of bacteria developed in the dental plate and leads to the destruction of the original gum (gingivitis) and then the bone leading to tooth mobility.

If not treated the inflammation that leads to the creation of periodontal chamber in which gathered more plate causing more inflammation and thus increased mobility.
