PERIODONTICS AND GUM TREATMENT

WHAT IS IT?

Periodontics is the specialty that studies the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gums.

Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are those that affect the gums and in more advanced state also affect the bone that supports the teeth.

Gingivitis is an inflammation of the gum without affecting the dental support tissues.

Frequently, gingivitis evolves to periodontitis, in which there is an affectation of the tissues that support the roots.
