Periodontology
Periodontology is the specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating diseases that affect the gums, bone, and other tissues supporting the teeth and implants. Periodontal health is essential for maintaining both natural teeth and dental implants, as untreated conditions can lead to tooth loss and impact overall health.
Common Periodontal Conditions Treated:
- Gingivitis: The early stage of gum disease, characterized by swollen, red, and bleeding gums caused by plaque buildup.
- Periodontitis: A more advanced stage where bacteria affect the deeper tissues and bone, leading to gum recession, loose teeth, and eventual tooth loss if untreated.
- Peri-implantitis: A condition affecting the tissues around dental implants, which, if not treated promptly, can compromise the stability of the implant.
Treatment Options
- Scaling and root planing: Removal of plaque and tartar below the gumline to control infection and encourage healing.
- Laser therapy: A minimally invasive method to remove diseased tissue and bacteria while promoting faster healing.
- Surgical treatments: Includes procedures like flap surgery to clean deep pockets or bone grafting to restore lost bone.
- Maintenance therapy: Regular follow-up cleanings and monitoring to prevent disease recurrence.
With early detection and proper care, many periodontal problems can be successfully managed, preserving your smile and overall health.
