Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and conditions that affect the gums, teeth and the surrounding supporting structures (bone, ligaments, and tooth-supporting fibers). Periodontal diseases include gingivitis and periodontitis.<\/p>

Periodontists are dental specialists who have completed additional education and training in periodontics beyond dental school. They use advanced technology and techniques, such as digital imaging and laser therapy, to diagnose and treat periodontal diseases and to help patients maintain healthy gums and teeth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

You should visit a periodontist if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:<\/p>

  1. Red, swollen, or bleeding gums: These are signs of gingivitis, the early stage of gum disease.<\/p><\/li>

  2. Receding gums: When the gums pull away from the teeth, exposing more of the tooth, it is called gum recession. This can be caused by periodontal disease or other factors.<\/p><\/li>

  3. Loose teeth: Periodontal disease can cause the bones and tissues that support the teeth to deteriorate, making the teeth loose.<\/p><\/li>

  4. Persistent bad breath: Chronic bad breath can be a sign of periodontal disease or other oral health issues.<\/p><\/li>

  5. Pus around the teeth and gums: This is a sign of an infection, which is often caused by periodontal disease.<\/p><\/li>

  6. Changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite: Periodontal disease can cause the bones and tissues that support the teeth to deteriorate, which can change the way the teeth fit together when you bite.<\/p><\/li>

  7. Changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite: Periodontal disease can cause the bones and tissues that support the teeth to deteriorate, which can change the way the teeth fit together when you bite.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>

    It is also important to note that it is important to visit a periodontist as part of your regular dental check-ups, even if you are not experiencing any symptoms. A periodontist can detect and treat any issues early on before they become more serious.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    <\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Gingivitis<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

    This is a mild form of gum disease that causes inflammation and bleeding of the gums. It is caused by the buildup of plaque and tartar on the teeth, which can be prevented with good oral hygiene.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>

    \n
    <\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Periodontitis<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

    This is a more severe form of gum disease that occurs when gingivitis is left untreated. It causes the gums to pull away from the teeth, creating pockets that become infected. The infection can damage the bone and supporting tissues, and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>

    \n
    <\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Aggressive periodontitis<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

    This is a rare and severe form of periodontitis that occurs in people who are otherwise healthy, and it progresses rapidly.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>

    \n
    <\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Chronic periodontitis<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

    This is the most common form of periodontitis, it progresses slowly and affects the majority of people who have gum disease.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>

    \n
    <\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Necrotizing periodontal diseases<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

    This is a group of rare and severe gum infections that primarily affect people with weakened immune systems, such as individuals who are HIV-positive or have other immune deficiencies.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>

    \n
    <\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Abscesses of the periodontium<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

    Dental abscesses are localized bacterial infections within the periodontium, which can be acute or chronic, and can be caused by different factors.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>

    <\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/span>Periodontitis associated with systemic diseases<\/span><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

    1. Some systemic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease have been linked to an increased risk of periodontal disease.<\/p><\/li><\/ol>

      It is important to note that periodontal diseases can have serious consequences if left untreated, including tooth loss, and may also affect overall health, so early diagnosis and treatment is important.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
