Periodontology is the dental specialty that focuses on the tissues supporting the teeth,

including the gums, alveolar bone, and periodontal ligament.

 

Periodontal disease is the main cause of tooth loss in adults and results

from the accumulation of bacteria in the oral tissues.

 

It usually begins with gum inflammation, causing bleeding and swelling. This condition can often be easily controlled through the removal of all plaque and tartar buildup, combined with more effective oral hygiene practices.

 

Factors such as pregnancy, puberty, ill-fitting dentures, and misaligned teeth can exacerbate gum inflammation.

​

Regular monitoring of gum health is essential to prevent disease and address any existing damage.

The sooner the intervention, the more effective the treatment!
