The Most Important Link in Smile Health!
1. What is Periodontics?
Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with gum disease, tooth-supporting tissues, and the jawbone. Periodontists are dentists who specialize in issues such as gingivitis, gum disease, and periodontal disease.
2. Importance of Gum Health:
a. Clean and Strong Gums: Healthy gums should sit firmly on the jawbone that supports the teeth and protect the roots of the teeth.
b. Effects of Gum Disease: Gum diseases can cause gum recession, tooth loss and jaw bone loss.
3. Symptoms of Gum Disease:
a. Bleeding Gums: Bleeding while brushing or flossing may be a sign of gingivitis.
b. Gum Recession: The receding gum line can expose the roots of the teeth and cause sensitivity.
4. Periodontal Treatment and Precautions:
a. Professional Dental Cleaning: Regular dental cleanings remove tartar and protect gum health.
b. Gum Surgery: In advanced periodontal diseases, gum surgery may be the solution.
Periodontics plays an important role in maintaining and improving the health of our gums. Gum disease can cause serious problems when it progresses, so regular dental check-ups and effective oral hygiene habits are essential steps for a healthy smile. Remember, healthy gums are the key to a beautiful smile, and periodontics can help you maintain that key.
