What causes periodontitis?

Dental plaque is the major cause of periodontitis. Persistent infection of the gum margins leads to progressive inflammation and destruction of the supporting tissues by bacterial toxins and enzymes. Extension and the hardening of plaque leads to formation of tartar beneath the gums. Having tartar within the gum pockets can lead to periodontitis. It forms a reservoir of bacteria which help to keep inflammation and acts as a barrier to healing.
