“Periodontics” is a dental specialty concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease that affects the gums and jawbone.\u00a0 It is the gum tissues that surround and support the teeth, and the underlying jawbone that anchors the teeth firmly in place.\u00a0 A periodontist is a dentist who has completed additional training and is responsible for maintaining the function, health and aesthetics of the jawbone and tissues.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A periodontal disease is a progressive condition that begins with a mild inflammation of the gums, known as gingivitis.\u00a0 People living in developed countries are most likely to lose teeth as a result of this condition, and it should be taken very seriously.\u00a0 In most cases, periodontal disease (often called gum disease) is characterized by red, swollen, painful, or bleeding gums, although it can also have no symptoms at all.<\/span><\/p>

In general, periodontal disease occurs when the bacteria living in plaque cause an infection in the tissues surrounding the teeth, causing them to become inflamed and painful.\u00a0 As a result of this infection, the jawbone will recede and the tooth will become loose.<\/span><\/p>
