Periodontics (Gum & Bone Care)

Periodontics, or gum and bone care, is an important field of dentistry that focuses on keeping the gums and jawbone healthy, as well as the teeth themselves. Periodontics helps keep your gums healthy and treats problems like gingivitis, periodontitis, and bone loss.

Gum disease typically starts without any obvious signs, such as bleeding while brushing, foul breath, or gums that pull back. If you don't treat gum disease, it can worsen and lead to severe periodontitis, which may cause your teeth to shift or even fall out. Periodontists are experts at finding and treating these problems with the help of cutting-edge tools and methods. Some of the treatments are deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), laser-assisted therapy, gum grafting, and procedures to help the bone grow back.

Periodontics helps with more than just treating diseases. It can also help with cosmetic changes, such as fixing a "gummy smile" or getting the jawbone ready for dental implants. The goal is to bring back healthy gums, keep natural teeth, and make sure that the structures in the mouth stay stable for a long time.
Regular periodontal checks are essential, especially for people who smoke, have diabetes, or have a family history of gum disease. Periodontics is essential for getting and keeping a healthy, beautiful smile for life. It does this by making personalised care plans and preventive methods.
