	Periodontics
		Periodontics involves the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of gum disease by a general dentist or a periodontist.
		Periodontal disease can be easily detected by a general dentist or periodontist during regular examinations.
		The main goal of periodontal treatment is eradication of the disease process from the gums, ligaments and bones that surround the teeth, and restoration of health that can be predictably maintained in the future.

	Periodontic, Root Planing, Healthy Gum, Gum Disease
		Periodontal disease is the number one cause of tooth loss after the age of 30 and it is believed that around 80% of the population above the age of 30 may suffer from this disease, with varying degrees of severity.
		The first stage of periodontal disease, gingivitis, is the mild inflammation of the gingival caused by plaque build up.
		A periodontal probe will be used to determine if there is any breakdown in the gum tissue and attachment or if pockets have developed between your gums and teeth.

		The second process, periodontal disease, is a destructive inflammatory progressive disease that begins initially in the gums and progresses to the surrounding bone, resulting in irreversible bone loss.
		Symptoms of periodontal disease include inflamed gum tissues, bleeding gums, migration and movement of teeth, dental decay, dental abscesses, root canal, halitosis, metallic taste, irreversible bone loss and ultimately tooth loss.
		Only through the proper diagnosis and treatment of the specific periodontal problem and adherence to a strict hygiene maintenance schedule based on one's disease activity can the severity of periodontal disease or tooth decay be minimized.
