Periodontal Disease Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection that affects the tissues surrounding the teeth. More specifically, the infection attacks the fibers and supporting bone that hold your teeth in your mouth. It can affect only one, a few or all of your teeth. Left untreated, this can lead to tooth loss.
