Periodontics

If you are looking for information about the health of your gums and the tissues that support your teeth, then periodontics is the area of dental specialisation you need to know about. Periodontics is the area of dentistry that studies and treats diseases of the gums, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, as well as the maintenance and repair of the tissues that support the teeth.

Our periodontists are specialists in diagnosing and treating periodontal diseases. They have an expert knowledge of the alveolar bone, periodontal ligaments and gums, and know how to treat infection and inflammation in these areas. They are also trained to perform periodontal surgical procedures such as bone and soft tissue grafts.

Periodontics is an important area of dentistry because periodontal diseases can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. In addition, there is growing evidence that periodontal health can affect the overall health of the body. For example, periodontal disease has been associated with health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and pregnancy complications.

In summary, periodontics is a crucial area of dentistry for maintaining the health of your mouth and your body in general. If you have signs of periodontal disease, such as swollen gums, bleeding or sensitivity, contact us as soon as possible for assessment and treatment.
