Periodontium is the name given to the complex system of hard and soft structures that support your teeth in your jaw. This system is made up of the tooth socket, the gums, root cementum and the periodontal ligament. Periodontology is the study of these oral structures. Periodontists have a specialist understanding of the science of your mouth, teeth, jaw and gums as a whole, as well as a thorough knowledge of the different kinds of diseases that can manifest, their symptoms and suitable treatments.
Gum disease can be serious, it can affect the whole of your mouth or can be limited to a few teeth. If left untreated it can result in bone loss – undermining the foundations of your teeth. Bone and soft (gum) tissue keep your teeth in place, and lasting damage to these may result in loss of teeth and unsightly gaps.
