Periodontology
Periodontics is the specialty within dentistry that focuses on the health of the gums and the supporting tissue around the teeth. Healthy gums are essential for a strong and stable foundation for your teeth.
Why is Periodontology important?
Healthy gums are not only important for your oral health, but also affect your overall health. Periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and severe gum disease (periodontitis), can lead to tooth loss and have been linked to other health problems, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Our dental hygienist will work with you to prevent these conditions. In addition to dental cleaning, the dental hygienist provides information about the use of brushes, floss, brushing teeth and nutrition.
