Periodontics

Periodontics is a separate branch of dental medicine for preventing, diagnosing and treating illnesses that affect the periodontium.

Periodontal diseases are inflammatory conditions that destroy the tissue binding the teeth.

The periodontium is a crucial structure that supports the teeth and consists of the gingiva (gums), periodontal ligaments (epithelial attachment), and the alveolar bone.

Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums (gingiva), and if it spreads and affects the deeper structure of the tooth, the disease enters the second phase, called periodontitis.

Periodontitis diseases are inflammatory conditions causing the decay of tissue supporting the teeth. The first stage of gum inflammation is called gingivitis and can be successfully treated. The symptoms include redness, painfulness, and swelling of the gums, as well as bleeding when brushing one’s teeth.

If the inflammatory process spreads to the deeper structures of the tooth, the disease progresses to the second phase – periodontitis. Periodontitis is a stealthy disease that often goes unnoticed until it progresses further. Symptoms include inflammation, redness, and swelling of the gums, formation of periodontal pockets, gum recession, tooth mobility, and bad breath. Stress, smoking, or systemic diseases can clinically worsen periodontitis.

Periodontosis is the leading cause of tooth loss and affects as much as 30 to 40 percent of adults.

The treatment of periodontitis begins with initial periodontal treatment which includes the removal of dental plaque and tartar above and below the gums, as well as scraping and polishing the tooth roots.

Gingivitis is gum (gingiva) inflammation, and if it spreads and affects the deeper structure of the tooth and the disease enters the second phase, it is called periodontitis.

If you notice any of these symptoms, promptly contact us so we can prevent any disease from affecting your gums, bones, or tissues. Taking care of the periodontium is crucial to preserving good tooth health!
