Periodontics

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum diseases, as well as the structures supporting the teeth, such as the bones and ligaments.

Periodontal treatments include scaling and root planing, gum surgery, and the use of lasers to treat advanced gum disease.

The goal of periodontics is to maintain the health of the gums, prevent tooth loss, and restore the function and aesthetics of the mouth.
