Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that affect the gums and other structures supporting the teeth, such as the jawbone and periodontal ligament. Periodontists specialize in treating conditions like gingivitis (early gum disease) and periodontitis (advanced gum disease), which can lead to gum inflammation, bone loss, and tooth loss if left untreated. They perform procedures such as scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), gum grafts, and placement of dental implants to restore oral health and prevent further complications. Periodontists also educate patients on proper oral hygiene practices to maintain healthy gums and teeth.
