Periodontics is the specialized field of dentistry focused on the health of the gums and the supporting structures of the teeth. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common yet serious condition that can lead to tooth loss, bone deterioration, and other systemic health issues if left untreated.
Early stages of gum disease (gingivitis) can often be reversed with professional cleanings and improved oral hygiene. However, advanced stages (periodontitis) may require more intensive therapies, such as scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), laser gum treatment, and periodontal surgery.
Periodontal surgery may be recommended for patients with deep gum pockets, significant bone loss, or persistent infection. Surgical options include flap surgery (to remove tartar deposits and reduce pockets), bone grafting, and guided tissue regeneration to rebuild lost bone and gum tissue.
Gum therapy also includes cosmetic procedures like gum contouring, which reshapes uneven gum lines to enhance the appearance of your smile.
