Periodontology is a field of therapeutic dentistry that is concerned with the health of the tissues around the tooth. In most cases, patients do not even realize that they have serious problems with the periodontal complex (gums, periodontal ligament, bone) because periodontal diseases are, for the most part, asymptomatic. Because of this, visits to the doctor are often delayed, leading to tooth loss, damage to general health, and ultimately, a deterioration in quality of life. Therefore, a timely visit to the dentist and prevention of dental diseases will allow you to maintain a healthy oral cavity and consequently, your general health, for a long time.
