Periodontics is the specialty of dentistry that diagnoses and treats problems of the tissues that support the teeth (gums). The main periodontal diseases are gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis consists of the inflammation and bleeding of the gum without affecting the bone. When the bone that supports the tooth begins to be destroyed by a bacterial process, we are talking about periodontitis.
