Periodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the periodontium. The periodontium comprises the supporting structures of the tooth, including the gums (gingiva), periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone.

Periodontal diseases arise from bacteria present in the oral cavity. If left untreated, these diseases can result in the loss of alveolar bone and ultimately, tooth loss.

Common Periodontal Diseases / Gum Problems:

Gingivitis: Inflammation of the gums, often characterized by bleeding during toothbrushing. It is prevalent in most individuals.

Periodontitis: Gradual reduction in gum height and alveolar bone, resulting in weakened tooth support and potential tooth loss if untreated.

Peri-implantitis: Loss of bone surrounding a dental implant, which can compromise the stability and longevity of the implant.

Periodontal Treatment Procedures:

Scaling and Root Planing: Thorough cleaning of the gums and tooth roots to remove plaque and tartar buildup.

Flap Surgery: Surgical procedure to treat periodontitis by lifting the gum tissue to access and clean the tooth roots.

Frenectomy: Surgical removal of the frenum, a band of tissue connecting the gum to the lip, cheek, or floor of the mouth.

Crown Lengthening: Surgical procedure to improve the appearance of the smile by reducing the height of the gums.

At The Specialist Dentist, our team of specialists performs these procedures with expertise and precision.
