Periodontitis is a big threat to our oral health. There are several types of periodontitis, but the most common forms are below here.

        Chronic periodontitis. This is the most common type of periodontitis. The inflammation occurs more slowly, but can still, eventually, result in tooth loss.

        Aggressive periodontitis. This is a rapidly progressive form of periodontitis that leads to gum deterioration and jawbone destruction in people who are otherwise healthy.

        Necrotizing periodontal disease. People whose immune systems have been compromised by conditions such as malnutrition, HIV infection, and cancer are vulnerable to this type of periodontitis. The gum tissue, supportive ligaments, and bone all undergo severe damage, or necrosis, as a result of this form of periodontitis.

        Periodontitis related to other conditions. Periodontitis can also occur in association with and be exacerbated by other health problems, including diabetes, lung disorders, and heart disease.
