Periodontics

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and other conditions affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Periodontists specialize in treating conditions like gingivitis, periodontitis, and receding gums, as well as performing procedures like scaling and root planing to clean the gums and teeth below the gum line. In more advanced cases, periodontists may perform surgical procedures to restore gum health and prevent tooth loss. Maintaining healthy gums is essential for overall oral health, and periodontics plays a vital role in helping you preserve your smile
