What it means and services provided: The word periodontal comes from the Greek words “peri meaning around” and “odontal meaning teeth”. Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums. Initially plaque forms a thin layer on the teeth which then hardens into calculus or tartar. This becomes a breeding ground for bacteria which then attack the soft tissue around the gums. In the early stages the infection is called gingivitis and the symptoms include red swollen and bleeding gums, bad breath. If left untreated it can result in loss of teeth. These are the different procedures involved in the treatment of the periodontal disease:

• Periodontal Surgery
• Periodontal Plastic Surgery

• Gingival graft
