Healthy Gums, Strong Foundation for a Lasting Smile.
What is Periodontics?
Periodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the gums, jawbone, and other tissues that support your teeth. The term “periodontics” refers to the structures located around the teeth.
A periodontist is specially trained to diagnose and treat conditions that affect these supporting tissues, including gum disease, gum recession, and bone loss. Periodontal care plays an important role in maintaining healthy gums, protecting your teeth, and supporting your overall oral health.
