Abstract: Periodontal diseases, commonly known as gum disease, are serious bacterial infections that generally destroy the protective and supporting tissues of the teeth. They generally begin with gingivitis, which is a chronic inflammation of the gums and in some cases it can evolve into periodontitis, which destroys the bone and tissues that support the tooth and later to advanced periodontitis, which causes rapid loss of teeth. dental organs. Gingival conditions affect more than three-quarters of the population, which is why work is currently being done globally to prevent these conditions, as they are widespread, although widely preventable, diseases. 21 bibliographies on the topic were consulted. Documentary and historical-logical analysis methods were used, as well as the analytical-synthetic method. The objective was to describe periodontal diseases and the importance of preventive work in the appearance of these ailments. Periodontal diseases can be prevented and treated if action is taken promptly and appropriately. It is necessary to promote the prevention, treatment and control of diseases in their initial phases; define the role and responsibilities of oral health professionals, particularly periodontologists and stomatologists, as well as other health care professionals
