Periodontitis is a severe form of gum disease that can destroy the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth. Treatment involves deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove bacteria, antibiotics to eliminate infection, and in some cases, surgical intervention. The goal is to prevent further damage and preserve the natural teeth.
