Gingivitis is the mildest form of periodontal disease. It is caused by bacteria in plaque, which produce substances that can harm the gums. Gingivitis is quite common. Almost 3 out of 4 adults over age 35 have some evidence of this condition. If you have periodontitis, your gums become detached from your teeth. Spaces called pockets form between the teeth and gums. Aggressive periodontitis gets worse faster than chronic periodontitis. Aggressive periodontitis tends to run in families. Bruxism, also known as tooth grinding.Edentulism is the condition of being toothless to at least some degree. Occlusal trauma is a dental term that refers to the damage incurred when teeth are left in traumatic occlusion without proper treatment. Necrotizing periodontal diseases are forms of disease that get worse rapidly.
