What is it?

This is a type of dentistry which aims to diagnose and treat those affected by gum diseases, conditions which affects the supporting structures of the tooth(the part that holds the tooth in).

 

Symtoms

Symptoms include bleeding gums, teeth that move with usually very red , swollen and glossy gums. The gums usually bleed spontaneously or on toothbrushing as well as possibly experiencing bad breath or bad taste in the mouth.

Periodontal diseases can also be painless and silent, making it difficult for the patient to recognize without a dental consultation and only a professional can diagnose correctly.
