What this covers

What periodontics covers.

Mouthwash being poured into a cap

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with what holds your teeth in place: the gums, the bone, and the connective tissue beneath them.

Two forms are by far the most common. Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums, caused by plaque building up on the teeth. Left untreated it advances to periodontitis, the more serious form, which can end in tooth loss.

Our periodontal team has advanced training in diagnosing and treating both, from scaling and root planing through laser therapy, and gum surgery where the disease has gone further. Periodontal disease has been linked to heart disease and stroke, which is why we treat it as more than a dental problem.
