About Periodontics
Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the treatment of gum diseases and the foundation structures around the teeth. If such a condition is not treated, a person could suffer tooth loss and jaw bone loss.
Common periodontal procedures include scaling and root planing (careful cleaning to remove plaque and tartar), periodontal surgery, dental implants, gum plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures (crown lengthening, soft tissue grafts, ridge augmentation).
