Periodontology or Periodontics is the domain of dentistry that studies about the supporting structures of teeth, diseases and conditions that affect them. The supporting tissues are known as the periodontium, which includes the gingiva (gums), alveolar bone, cementum and the periodontal ligament.
One of the most common problems that affect periodontium is infection. The infections are caused by the accumulation of hard deposits clinging to the teeth. The deposits are saturated with disease causing bacteria, resulting in the infection of tissues, surrounding and supporting the teeth. These infections can lead to bleeding gums and early loss of teeth.
Various surgical and non-surgical periodontal treatments are available at Novadent. In the early stages of periodontal disease, non-surgical periodontal treatment is appropriate. In case of issues like bone loss, surgical periodontal treatment is required.
