Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the statements provided are correct. Periodontitis indeed involves the loss of bone and can lead to loosening of teeth, often associated with aging but not exclusively. Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums and can progress to affect the periodontal membrane if left untreated. The loss of 20 deciduous (baby) teeth is a normal part of childhood development as these teeth are replaced by permanent teeth. Tonsillitis is the inflammation of the tonsils, which is accurately described.
