Oral health is not just about teeth. The gums and bone that support the teeth play a fundamental role in maintaining a healthy and functional smile. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Periodontology is the specialty of dentistry dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the tissues that support the teeth \u2013 gum, alveolar bone, periodontal ligament and root cementum.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

What is periodontal disease?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

Periodontal disease is a bacterial infection that affects the supporting tissues of the teeth. They often start silently, with barely visible signs, but can progress aggressively if not diagnosed and treated in time.
The two most common forms are: <\/p>\n

Gingivitis<\/strong> \u2013 superficial inflammation of the gums, usually caused by the buildup of bacterial plaque.
Symptoms include red, swollen, and bleeding gums easily when brushing or flossing. It is reversible with proper treatment. <\/p>\n

Periodontitis<\/strong> \u2013 a more advanced form of the disease, where the infection affects not only the gums, but also the bone and periodontal ligament.
It can cause tooth mobility, gum retreat, persistent bad breath and, in severe cases, tooth loss.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
