Periodontal Treatment: Protect Your Gums and Smile

Periodontal treatment is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the health of the gums and the structures that support your teeth. Healthy gums are crucial for maintaining a beautiful and functional smile, and periodontal treatment is designed to prevent and treat gum disease to avoid tooth loss and other complications. Periodontal disease (also known as gum disease) is an infection of the tissues that surround and support the teeth. It begins with gingivitis, a mild form of gum disease, but can progress to periodontitis, a more severe condition that can cause tooth loss if left untreated.
