Periodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums and underlying bone. Practitioners in this field, known as periodontists, play a crucial role in maintaining optimal oral health by addressing conditions such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Periodontists employ various techniques, including scaling and root planning, to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line, aiming to halt disease progression.

Moreover, periodontics extends beyond disease management to include cosmetic aspects of gum health. Periodontists may perform procedures like gum grafting to enhance the appearance of the gingiva and address issues such as receding gums. By specializing in periodontics, dental professionals contribute significantly to overall oral health and work to preserve the stability and aesthetics of a patient's smile.
