Periodontal disease is generally due to bacteria in the mouth infecting the tissue around the teeth.Risk factors include smoking, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, family history, and certain medications. Diagnosis is by inspecting the gum tissue around the teeth both visually and with a probe and X-rays looking for bone loss around the teeth. Treatment involves good oral hygiene and regular professional teeth cleaning.Recommended oral hygiene include daily brushing and flossing.In certain cases antibiotics or dental surgery may be recommended.Globally 538 million people were estimated to be affected in 2015. In the United States nearly half of those over the age of 30 are affected to some degree, and about 70% of those over 65 have the condition. Males are affected more often than females.
