Periodontic Dentistry
Periodontists are the dental specialists who treat gum disease and are known as the plastic surgeons for your smile. Periodontists are able to provide a simple surgical solution that is done in the office with only a simple local anesthetic. Normally, this minimally-invasive surgery does not hurt when it is being done and usually does not cause pain after the anesthetic has worn off.
The range of treatments in periodontics are:
* Scaling and root planning
* Aesthetic and Gingivectomy
* Gingival recession and Gingival Graft
* Esthetic Periodontal Crown-Lengthening Surgery and Bone graft

Gingivitis and Periodontitis
The term "periodontal disease" or "gum disease" in its strictest sense refer to both gingivitis and periodontitis.
Gingivitis is and inflammatory condition of the gingiva. Gingivitis is modified by several factors such as smoking, certain drugs and hormonal changes that occur in puberty and pregnancy.
Periodontitis follows gingivitis and is also influenced by the individual's immune and inflammatory response. It is initiated by microbial plaque. Periodontitis involves the destruction of the supporting structure of the teeth. Clearly, periodontitis is the most significant of these diseases because it causes tooth loss, mouth odor or bad breath or halitosis
About 85 to 90 percent of bad breath cases are related to an oral problem. While another 8 percent to 10 percent of cases may be caused by chronic postnasal drip.
Oral reasons for mouth odor may include gum disease, broken down teeth and decay, prosthetic devices that are ill-fitting or that cause food accumulation in hard-to-clean areas and even smoking.
Perhaps the most common culprits of mouth odor are "dental plaque and food debris. These allow bacterial growth and putrefaction that can cause bad breath.
