Periodontics is the branch of dentistry dedicated to preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease and conditions affecting the tissues that support your teeth. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 47% of adults over age 30 show signs of periodontal disease. Left untreated, it can lead to bone loss and tooth loss and may be associated with broader health concerns such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Healthy gums form the foundation of a strong smile. Early intervention through professional periodontal care helps manage the infection, repair damaged tissue where possible, and prevent future recurrence.
Here’s what your Periodontics experience typically looks like:
We use a variety of diagnostic tools, such as X-rays and other imaging techniques like cone-beam computed tomography, to evaluate the supporting structures of the teeth and assess your gum health.
Based on your exam results, our dentist creates a custom treatment plan designed to fit your health goals, comfort level, and timeline.
This deep-cleaning procedure is developed to remove plaque and bacteria from below the gumline and smooths root surfaces to allow gums to reattach more securely. Local anesthesia is typically used to ensure your comfort.
Flap surgery, bone grafts, or guided tissue regeneration are surgeries that may be necessary to repair damaged tissues and restore bone loss around the teeth. Gingival grafting involves taking tissue from the roof of the mouth and grafting it onto exposed tooth roots to improve aesthetics.
Throughout every step, our team’s goal is to ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and confident about your care plan.
Daily care at home plays a major role in maintaining gum health. Here are some effective habits:
Consistent care between professional visits can reduce inflammation and help your gums remain healthy and strong.

Healthy gums are vital: they provide strong support for teeth, improving bite and chewing function, and significantly lower your risk of tooth loss from gum disease. Furthermore, maintaining gum health improves overall oral wellness and can reduce the risk of systemic conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and respiratory disease.

While periodontal disease itself is primarily an inflammatory reaction, not a contagion, the bacteria that trigger it can spread through saliva. To protect your family’s oral health, avoid sharing utensils or oral hygiene equipment with members who have the disease. We can discuss this and more during your consultation.

Regular examinations are crucial for monitoring the current status and progression of your periodontal disease. Your dentist in Ellicott City, MD, will create a personalized maintenance schedule based on the stage of your disease. Depending on your needs, we may recommend exams every six months for mild disease, or as often as every few months for more advanced stages. For more information, reach out at (443) 364-3144!
Although periodontal disease is rare in children and uncommon in adolescents, they must still learn proper hygiene to prevent future problems. Children should brush twice daily and learn to floss correctly. These two simple acts are the best defense against gum disease. We’re here to help.
