What is Periodontics?

Periodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases and conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums, bone, and periodontal ligaments. A periodontist is a dental specialist with advanced training and expertise in managing these conditions to preserve the health and function of your teeth.

What are the Benefits of Periodontics?

  1. Gum Health: Periodontics focuses on prevention and maintaining the health of your gums, which are essential for supporting your teeth and preserving their stability and function. In addition, we can restore the loss of supporting tissues through regenerative procedures.
  2. Prevention of Tooth Loss: By addressing gum disease and other periodontal conditions early, periodontics can help prevent tooth loss and the need for extensive dental treatments.
  3. Improved Oral Health: Periodontal treatments can improve overall oral health by reducing inflammation, preventing infection, and promoting healing of the gums and supporting structures.
  4. Enhanced Aesthetics: Healthy gums contribute to a beautiful smile, enhancing your overall facial appearance and boosting your self-confidence.
  5. Maintaining Overall Health: Healthy teeth and gums have been shown to decrease other health-related issues, such as cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other health issues.

What is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is a common oral health condition characterized by inflammation and infection of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss, bone loss, and other serious complications.

What Causes Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease is primarily caused by plaque buildup, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth and gums. Factors that can increase the risk of developing periodontal disease include poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetics, hormonal changes, certain medications, and underlying health conditions such as diabetes.

What are the Signs and Symptoms of Periodontal Disease?

  • Gum inflammation: Red, swollen, or tender gums that may bleed easily, especially during brushing or flossing.
  • Gum recession: Shrinking or pulling away of the gums from the teeth, exposing the tooth roots.
  • Pocket formation: Deepening of the spaces between the gums and teeth, allowing bacteria to accumulate and cause further damage.
  • Loose or shifting teeth: Gradual loosening or movement of the teeth due to loss of bone support.
  • Persistent bad breath: Foul-smelling breath that persists despite proper oral hygiene.

Our Periodontal Treatments:

Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths the tooth roots to promote gum reattachment and healing.

Periodontal Maintenance: These are ongoing maintenance visits to monitor gum health, remove plaque and tartar buildup, and prevent the progression of periodontal disease.

Gum Grafting: The surgical procedure to restore gum tissue lost to recession, improving aesthetics and protecting tooth roots from decay and increased sensitivity. 

Crown Lengthening: This surgical procedure removes excess gum tissue and reshapes the gumline, exposing more of the tooth structure for restorative or cosmetic purposes.

Bone Grafting: Bone grafting is a surgical procedure to restore lost bone tissue to help support existing teeth, and dental implants, or preserve the jawbone’s integrity.

Periodontal Surgery: Surgical interventions, such as flap surgery or guided tissue regeneration, treat advanced cases of periodontal disease and repair damaged gum and bone tissue.

How Often Should I See Our Periodontist?
The frequency of periodontal visits depends on the severity of the condition and individual risk factors. Patients with periodontal disease may require more frequent visits for monitoring and maintenance, while those with healthy gums may need routine check-ups from time to time.
