Trusted Periodontic Therapy in Kochi – Effective Solutions for Gum Disease

Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that involves the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the gums. It also involves other structures surrounding and supporting teeth. These structures include cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Poor gum hygiene is the main cause of periodontal diseases. Other factors such as lifestyle choices, medical conditions, age, family history, and malnutrition lead to periodontal diseases. Common periodontal diseases are gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is an early stage of gum disease that causes inflammation of the gums. Periodontitis is caused by the degradation of the periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. Protecting your gums from these types of diseases is essential to preventing tooth loss. Brushing twice a day can preserve your oral health. Smoking can increase the chances of periodontitis. Following a healthy diet and going to regular checkups can ensure the good health of your gums. Gum care is crucial to maintaining good oral hygiene and overall well-being.
