What is Periodontics?
Periodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease (also known as gum disease), and in the placement of dental implants. It involves the health of the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums, cementum, periodontal ligaments, and alveolar bone.
