Tips, tricks and insights for you in this category

Periodontology is a specialized field within dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that affect the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums (gingiva), the bone surrounding the teeth, and the periodontal ligament. It primarily deals with the management of periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis.

Periodontists are dental professionals who specialize in periodontology. They undergo additional training and education beyond general dentistry to become experts in diagnosing and treating gum diseases and other conditions related to the supporting structures of the teeth.

The field of periodontology encompasses various aspects of oral health, including:

1. Prevention and education: Periodontists educate patients on proper oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups, to prevent the onset or progression of periodontal diseases.

2. Diagnosis: Periodontists perform thorough examinations and use diagnostic tools such as X-rays, periodontal probing, and other tests to assess the health of the gums, bone, and other supporting structures.

3. Treatment: Periodontists provide various treatment options for periodontal diseases. These may include non-surgical approaches like scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), as well as surgical interventions like periodontal flap surgery, gum grafting, bone grafting, and dental implant placement.

4. Maintenance: Periodontists develop personalized maintenance plans for patients to ensure long-term oral health after the treatment of periodontal diseases. This may involve regular follow-up visits, professional cleanings, and ongoing monitoring.

5. Dental implant placement: Periodontists are often involved in the placement and maintenance of dental implants, which are artificial tooth roots used to support replacement teeth.

Periodontology plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and stability of the teeth and their supporting structures. It aims to prevent tooth loss, improve oral function, and enhance the overall health and aesthetics of the smile.
