What is periodontics?
Gum Health Solutions for South Miami, FL Patients
Periodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease. This branch of dentistry addresses issues affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Effective periodontics care can prevent gum recession, tooth loss, and other complications associated with untreated gum disease.
initial examination
The first step involves a comprehensive periodontal examination to assess gum health.
treatment
Depending on the severity of the condition, non-surgical treatments such as scaling and root planing are performed.
oral surgery
For advanced cases, surgical procedures such as gum grafts or bone regeneration may be necessary.
the Benefits of periodontics
Periodontics provides essential care for maintaining the health of your gums and supporting bone structure, preventing gum disease from advancing. Early intervention can save teeth and reduce the need for more invasive treatments later. Additionally, treating gum disease can improve overall health, as it's linked to conditions like heart disease and diabetes. With professional periodontal care, patients can maintain a healthier mouth and a more confident smile.
Common questions
How can I prevent periodontal disease?
Good oral hygiene is the first line of defense against periodontal disease. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups. Avoid tobacco use and maintain a balanced diet to support gum health. For individuals with a higher risk, a periodontist may recommend additional preventive measures.
What are common signs of periodontal disease?
Common symptoms include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession (pulling away from the teeth), loose teeth, and sensitivity. If you notice any of these signs, consult a periodontist promptly for evaluation and treatment.
How is periodontal disease treated?
Treatment varies depending on the severity of the condition. Early stages, like gingivitis, can often be reversed with professional cleanings and improved oral hygiene. More advanced stages may require scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), surgical procedures, or regenerative treatments to restore damaged tissue and bone.
