PeriodontitisThis is the advanced state of gingivitis where the plaque spreads below the gums and forms a hard deposit called tartar. The bacteria in plaque and tartar produce poisons which irritate and inflame the gums and break down the tissues and bone which support the teeth. Eventually, if the situation is not controlled, teeth become loose and may have to be extracted.
