Gum Treatment

Periodontics is a branch that deals with gums.

Commonly caused disease of gums is gingivitis that affects the gingival, making them swollen, red and inflamed. This can be treated by a dentist or hygienist by treatments such as scaling or root planning.

Various periodontal surgeries can help you get a beautiful smile.

If your gums shrink, they can expose some of the roots of your teeth, making them sensitive. And if you have bone loss, your teeth may become loose or later fall out. This can be prevented by periodontal flap surgeries which help in reversing the effects of recession of gingiva.
