Periodontics - Gum Surgery

Periodontics is the field, that deals with the supporting structures of the tooth/teeth that include the Gums (gingiva), Periodontal ligament (that helps hold the tooth to the bone), and the bone. All 3 entities are essential for good Oral Health!

It is essential to maintain healthy periodontium (gums) as this will ensure longer life of teeth with increasing age.

Studies have proven a direct relation of gum health with that of systemic conditions.

Gum recession & loose teeth can be caused by various factors such as; improper brushing method, aging, trauma from extreme biting force, diabetes mellitus, nutritional disorders, poor oral hygiene, aggressive periodontitis etc.

Remember, healthy gums=healthy teeth, infections to the teeth & bone also occur if the gums are not healthy.

MOST CASES OF PERIODONTITIS, ie Inflammation of the Gums, REQUIRE FLAP SURGERY (with ot without bone grafting)
