Understanding Periodontal Disease and Periodontics
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, affects the tissues supporting your teeth, including gums, bones, and tooth roots.
It begins with plaque buildup, which hardens into tartar and, if left untreated, can lead to infection, gum recession, and tooth loss. Periodontics is the dental specialty focused on treating these issues and maintaining the overall health of the gums, tooth roots, and jawbone. At Smile Envy Dental & Orthodontics, our periodontists in Vinings and nearby areas provide expert care to manage and prevent periodontal disease.
