Periodontology

Periodontology is a specialised field of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that affect the supporting structures of the teeth, known as the periodontium.

The periodontium includes the gums (gingiva), the bone that surrounds and supports the teeth (alveolar bone), the cementum that covers the tooth roots, and the periodontal ligament that attaches the tooth to the bone.

Periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, are caused by bacterial plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth. If left untreated, these diseases can lead to inflammation and infection of the gums, and in more severe cases, can result in bone loss and tooth mobility.

Periodontology plays a crucial role in maintaining overall oral health, as healthy gums and a strong periodontium are essential for the long-term stability and function of the teeth. Regular dental checkups, professional cleanings, and proper oral hygiene are essential in preventing and managing periodontal diseases.
