Periodontology is a branch of dentistry that aims to protect the health of the soft and hard tissues surrounding the teeth and to diagnose and treat diseases that occur in these tissues. Gum diseases start with inflammation of the tissues supporting the teeth and can progress to tooth loss if left untreated.
Gum diseases usually start as gingivitis (gingivitis) and may progress to periodontitis. Gingivitis manifests itself with symptoms such as redness, swelling and bleeding in the gums. Periodontitis can lead to gum recession, loose teeth and even tooth loss.
Periodontologists use a variety of methods to treat gum disease. These include scaling, root planing (curettage), periodontal surgery and gum grafts. In addition, regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene are of great importance for the prevention of gum disease.
