Periodontal gum infections (also known as periodontal disease, or pyorrhea) are slowly progressing infections of the gums and bone supporting the teeth. These infections typically progress slowly over years, and mostly go un-noticed by patients. Similar to other chronic diseases like diabetes or high blood pressure, if periodontal gum infections are noticed by the patient they are usually very advanced and have caused some un-repairable damage.
