Periodontitis, also known as gum disease and pyorrhea, is a set of inflammatory diseases affecting the tissues surrounding the teeth. Periodontitis involves progressive loss of the alveolar bone around the teeth, and if left untreated, can lead to the loosening and subsequent loss of teeth.
What is Periodontics? Periodontics is a highly specialized area of dentistry that treats the area around a tooth, including gums, bone and supporting ligaments. Most common periodontal services consist of scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), crown lengthening and dental implants. For periodontal disease treatment, we have many dedicated periodontal specialists (or periodontists) who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease and other conditions. Periodontal disease is becoming more common. To learn more about periodontal disease, visit the About Periodontal Disease page.
