Periodontics: Treating Gingivitis and Periodontitis with Safety and Precision
Periodontics is the dental specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that affect the supporting structures of the teeth, such as the gums and bone. The two most common periodontal diseases are:
Gingivitis: The early stage of gum inflammation, usually caused by the buildup of bacterial plaque. Common symptoms include redness, swelling, and bleeding during brushing.
Periodontitis: A more advanced stage of gum disease that leads to the loss of gum and bone tissue. Without proper treatment, it can cause tooth mobility and even tooth loss.
