Periodontology

Caries – not the only threat to teeth. Often pathologies in the oral cavity develop due to gum disease. Prevention and treatment of gum diseases is engaged in by the modern field of dentistry – periodontology.

What is periodontology

Periodontology – the field of dentistry, which is responsible for the diagnosis, prevention and elimination of diseases of the gums and periodontal tissues. Periodontal tissues surround the teeth from all sides and hold them. These include:

• clear;

• periodontium – interdental ligaments;

• tooth root cement;

• bone of the alveolar process of the jaw. 

Periodontal diseases are very common, but at the same time they are one of the most complex among maxillofacial pathologies. They lead to the mobility or loss of teeth, functional disorders in the work of the maxillofacial system.

Every experienced periodontist advises to seek help in a timely manner at the first signs of periodontal diseases:

• itching, tingling, numbness, bleeding gums;

• increasing interdental spaces;

• thickening of the edge of the gum tissue;

• exfoliation of the gums from the neck of the tooth, which leads to its exposure;

• mobility of teeth.

Periodontal diseases require urgent treatment. In other cases, even an experienced periodontist will not be able to save your health.
