What is Periodontics (Gum Disease Treatments) ?
Periodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease (gum disease) and the placement of dental implants. Gum disease, ranging from mild gingivitis to severe periodontitis, can lead to tooth loss if untreated. At Egedent Dental Clinic, our experienced dentists use advanced techniques and treatments to effectively manage and treat gum diseases, restoring your gums to optimal health.
Benefits of Periodontics (Gum Disease Treatments)

- Improved Oral Health: Treating gum disease enhances overall oral health by reducing inflammation and infection.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Healthy gums contribute to a beautiful smile by maintaining the proper contour and color of the gum tissue.
- Overall Health Benefits: Treating gum disease can improve overall health, as periodontal disease is linked to systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
