Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum diseases, ensuring your smile remains bright and your overall health stays in top shape. Periodontics revolves around the health of your periodontium, which includes your gums, the bones that support your teeth, and the connective tissues that hold everything together. Gum diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis, can wreak havoc on this delicate balance, potentially leading to tooth loss and even affecting your systemic health.

Gingivitis is the initial stage of gum disease and is often characterized by red, swollen gums that bleed during brushing and flossing. If left untreated, it can progress into periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease. Periodontitis can result in the destruction of the bone and tissue supporting your teeth, causing them to become loose and eventually fall out.

At Molars Dental, we take a proactive approach to periodontics. Our team of experienced periodontists and dental hygienists are dedicated to diagnosing and treating gum diseases in their early stages, preventing them from advancing and causing more extensive damage.
