FAQ
What is periodontics?
Periodontics is a dental specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, as well as the placement of dental implants. Periodontists are experts in managing conditions affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth, including gum inflammation, bone loss and complex dental implant procedures. They work to maintain the health and functionality of the gums and jawbone, ensuring a strong foundation for your teeth.
What is gum disease?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth. It is primarily caused by the buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria on the teeth. Gum disease ranges from mild inflammation, called gingivitis, to more severe forms known as periodontitis, which can lead to gum recession, bone loss and tooth loss if left untreated. Symptoms include swollen, red and bleeding gums, persistent bad breath and loose teeth.
What periodontal treatments are available?
Several periodontal treatments are available to address various stages of gum disease and other periodontal issues. Common treatments include scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery (such as osseous surgery and gum grafting), laser therapy, dental implants and antibiotic therapy.
How can periodontal treatment benefit me?
Periodontal treatment offers numerous benefits for your oral and overall health. It can stop the progression of gum disease, reducing inflammation, bleeding and pain. Treating periodontal disease can prevent tooth loss by strengthening the gums and supporting bone structure. Improved gum health also enhances your ability to chew and speak properly. Additionally, addressing gum disease can reduce the risk of other health issues linked to periodontal infections, such as heart disease, diabetes and respiratory problems. Overall, periodontal treatment helps maintain a healthy, functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.
