What Is The Definition of Periodontics?
Periodontics is a specialty that is dedicated exclusively to treat those diseases that affect the gums, causing them to become inflamed and acquire a very red hue.
If the patient does not have proper oral hygiene, it is likely to accumulate tartar in the mouth, which causes dental plaque on the gums can cause them to become inflamed due to an infection called gingivitis.
If the patient notices that his or her gums are inflamed and very red and does not go to the dentist in time, it is likely that the gingivitis will become periodontitis, and periodontitis is the most serious disease that the periodontium can suffer.
