Prevention and treatment of gum disease for a healthy smile

Periodontics is the dental specialty focused on the study, prevention, and treatment of diseases affecting the gums and the supporting tissues around the teeth. Healthy gums are essential to maintaining oral health and preventing more severe problems, such as tooth loss.

Periodontal disease is more common than many imagine. It begins with gingivitis, a mild gum inflammation which, if untreated, can progress to periodontitis—a more severe infection that damages the bone supporting the teeth. Periodontitis is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults and has been linked to systemic health issues such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems.

Why periodontics is important:

Prevention of tooth loss: Early diagnosis of periodontitis can prevent irreversible damage.
Overall health: Healthy gums positively impact general health by reducing the risk of complications elsewhere in the body.
Aesthetics: Healthy gums contribute to a balanced, attractive smile.
