Periodontology

Periodontology is a specialty of dentistry that deals with diagnosing, treating and preventing diseases of the gums and supporting tissues such as the jawbone. Gum diseases, such as gingivitis (gingivitis) and periodontitis, are the main problems that periodontology focuses on. These diseases can cause the gums to become inflamed, bleed, recede and even cause tooth loss. Periodontology examines the causes of these diseases, develops the right treatment plans and helps patients restore tooth and gum health. Treatment methods can include procedures such as teeth cleaning, root planing, surgical interventions and periodontal surgery. Periodontology plays an important role in maintaining patients' oral health and preserving their teeth for life. Therefore, taking precautions such as periodic dental check-ups and regular dental cleanings are critical in the prevention of periodontal diseases.
