Periodontology is the science related to the treatment and prevention of diseases related to the gingiva and other supporting tissues surrounding the tooth.
Gingival disease is easily detected as a result of clinical and radiographic examination, and a treatment plan can be formed according to the current disease state. Patients whose treatment is successful are followed up with 36-month controls. It is usually noticed by patients with complaints such as bad breath and gingival bleeding.
Gingival diseases, which usually start with the effect of plaque and calculus in the mouth, can sometimes be easily treated by simply cleaning the calculus and removing the deposits on the root surface, and in some cases, advanced surgical treatments involving soft and hard tissues may be needed.
Gums are as important as teeth in oral and dental health.
