Periodontics is a dental specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum diseases and other conditions that affect the supporting structures of the teeth. These structures include the gums, bone, and connective tissues that hold the teeth in place.

Common periodontal treatments include scaling and root planing, which involve deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline. Surgical procedures such as gum grafts, pocket reduction, and bone grafting may be necessary to address advanced gum disease or to regenerate lost bone and gum tissue.

Periodontal care is vital for maintaining healthy gums and preventing tooth loss. Untreated gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis can lead to serious oral health complications and even impact your overall well-being.
