Periodontics, an essential branch of dentistry, focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gum diseases.
All About Periodontics
Periodontics involve the care and treatment of the gums and bone supporting the teeth. Common treatments include deep cleanings, antimicrobial treatments or other non-surgical therapies to stabilize your condition. Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common condition that ranges in severity from mild inflammation (gingivitis) to advanced tissue and bone loss (periodontitis). Without intervention, this disease can lead to tooth mobility, tooth loss and systemic health complications.
Signs that may indicate periodontal concerns include:
- Bleeding or swollen gums
- Persistent bad breath
- Gum recession or pockets around teeth
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Pain when chewing

Long-Term Management and Maintenance
After active treatment, periodontal maintenance is essential and typically scheduled every three to four months. These visits involve continued monitoring, plaque control and professional cleanings to prevent disease recurrence.
Scientific evidence strongly supports that long-term periodontal maintenance reduces tooth loss and improves overall outcomes in patients with a history of periodontitis. At Bella Dental, we follow ADA guidelines and evidence-based practices to maintain periodontal stability and oral health.
