Specialist Periodontist in Chelmsford

What is Periodontics?

Periodontics is a specialised area of dentistry we offer at The Dental Abode. It focuses on three areas: prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal diseases. These are conditions that affect the tissues and structures that support your teeth, such as the gums, periodontal ligaments, and alveolar bone.

Periodontal disease, AKA gum disease or gingivitis, is brought on when plaque-containing bacteria weeds its way into the space between your teeth and gums. Here it works to slowly damage and destroy the roots of your teeth and the supporting bone. Over time, your gums gradually become more irritated and “puffy”, bleed more easily, make chewing uncomfortable and – if unaddressed – can cause teeth loss. However, with early periodontic treatment, you can avoid going through these unpleasant symptoms.

Our team of skilled and experienced periodontists is dedicated to helping you maintain good oral health and the stability of your teeth. We’ll make sure you have everything you need to fight gum disease and keep your mouth healthy as possible.
