Foundation of a Healthy and Strong Smile
Periodontics is a dental specialty that concentrates on the well-being of tissues surrounding the teeth, such as the gums and jawbone. It includes preventive care, treatments, and regenerative procedures for these tissues. Periodontists are dentists who specialize in this area and address oral health problems that impact different parts of the mouth, like the gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone.

This process includes a comprehensive dental cleaning below the gum line. Local anesthesia will be administered to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Scaling and root planing are usually suggested for patients in the initial phases of gum disease.
