The branch of dental medicine that deals with the health of the supporting structures of the teeth (periodontium) is called periodontology. The periodontium consists of the gums (gingiva), alveolar bone, and periodontal ligaments, which provide the connection between the tooth and the bone, ensuring stability within the dental arch.
The causes of periodontal disease include the accumulation of bacteria in plaque, poor oral hygiene, genetic factors, smoking, stress, and certain diseases that can contribute to the development of periodontal disease, such as diabetes.
If you suspect periodontal disease, it is important to consult a dentist in time so that appropriate measures can be taken, and treatment can begin.
