Your gum is as important as your tooth
And taking care of your gum tissue is what periodontics will help you with.
There are two main problems that perio can fix for you: gingivitis and periodontitis.
What’s so bad about those diseases?
Let us put it in the easiest terms:
Getting either of those, especially periodontitis, is something that’s hard to overcome.
Instead of regular, every 6 months dental cleanings, you’ll require a special kind of cleaning that should be performed every 2 to 3 months.
Not only that, but these increase the chances of losing tooth.
So if you notice your gum is swollen, or bleed a lot while brushing your teeth, make sure to get a check up.
