It is caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaque below the gum line (gingivitis). If left untreated, gingivitis progresses to periodontitis. The inflammation spreads to the bone and connective tissue, creating 'pockets'. Bacteria in these pockets destroy the bone and ligaments. The gums recede, teeth become loose, and can fall out. Poor oral hygiene is the main risk factor. Although periodontitis is caused by bacteria in dental plaque, its development and progression also depend on other factors. These include nutritional status, diabetes, smoking, and nutritional conditions. Magnesium and vitamin D are two essential nutrients that play an important role in maintaining periodontal health.
