Periodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on the health of the gums and supporting structures around the teeth. Healthy gums are the foundation of a strong, beautiful smile, and caring for them is essential to long-term oral health. At Divine Smiles Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry, our dentist and team provide skilled, compassionate periodontal care to help prevent, manage and treat gum-related conditions.
Understanding the Importance of Periodontal Health
Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, begins when bacteria and plaque build up along the gumline. Without proper treatment, this can lead to inflammation, gum recession, bone loss and eventually tooth loss. Periodontics addresses these concerns with specialized techniques that restore health and stability to the gums and surrounding tissues.
Signs you may need periodontal care include:
- Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
- Swollen or tender gums
- Gum recession or loose teeth
- Persistent bad breath
- Changes in bite or tooth position
Early detection is key. We offer thorough evaluations to identify problems early and develop a customized treatment plan that fits your needs.
