Periodontology

A branch of dentistry focused on maintaining the health of the gums and supporting tissues of the teeth and treating diseases that may lead to tooth loss.

Periodontology (Gum Diseases): Healthy Teeth Begin with Healthy Gums

Periodontology is a branch of dentistry aimed at maintaining the health of the tissues that support teeth (gums, bone, and connective tissues) and treating diseases that affect these tissues. Gum diseases, if untreated, can lead to tooth loss. Healthy gums are the foundation of strong and aesthetic teeth.

Symptoms of Gum Diseases

  • Gum Bleeding: Bleeding of the gums during brushing or flossing.
  • Swollen and Red Gums: Swelling and redness due to inflammation of the gums.
  • Bad Breath: Chronic gum inflammation often results in persistent bad breath.
  • Loose Teeth: Advanced gum diseases can cause teeth to loosen or shift.

Periodontal Treatment Methods

  • Scaling and Polishing: Plaque and tartar are removed from the tooth surface.
  • Root Planing: Infected tissues on the root surfaces are cleaned.
  • Periodontal Surgery: Advanced cases require surgical procedures to reshape the gums or repair bone tissue.
  • Gum Grafting: Soft tissue grafts are used to treat gum recession.

Treatment Process

  • Examination and Diagnosis: The condition of the gums and pocket depths are thoroughly assessed.
  • Cleaning and Root Planing: Plaque, tartar, and infected tissues are cleaned based on the severity of the gum disease.
  • Follow-up and Maintenance: Regular check-ups ensure the continued health of the gums after treatment.

Advantages of Periodontal Treatment

  • Preserves Healthy Teeth: Treating gum diseases prevents tooth loss.
  • Supports Overall Health: Oral health is directly linked to systemic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.
  • Aesthetic Smile: Healthy and pink gums are the cornerstone of an attractive smile.
