Periodontal dentistry is a specialized branch focusing on diagnosing and treating periodontal disease, also known as gum disease. Periodontal dentistry involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions that affect the gums, bone, and other supporting structures of the teeth. Periodontal dentists are experts in identifying and treating periodontal disease, ranging from a mild inflammation of the gums to more advanced stages of gum disease causing tooth loss. They use advanced techniques and technologies to diagnose and treat periodontal disease and work closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans to address their needs.
