Gum health is a fundamental aspect of oral well-being that often goes unnoticed, until problems such as gingivitis or periodontitis arise. Maintaining healthy gums not only helps preserve your teeth, but it also contributes to the overall health of your body. In our clinic specialized in periodontics, we transcend in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases, offering advanced and personalized solutions for each patient.
In this article, we will explore in detail what periodontics are, why they are important, and what treatments we offer for gum care. In addition, we will provide you with practical tips to prevent periodontal diseases and explain why choosing Icon Dental is the best decision for your oral health.
Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that affect the supporting tissues of the teeth, such as the gums and alveolar bone.
There are two main diseases within periodontics:
It is the inflammation of the gums caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaque. If not treated in time, it can progress to periodontitis.
This is a more serious condition in which the infection spreads to the deep tissues and can lead to tooth loss.
At Icon Dental, we have periodontal specialists who can help you prevent and treat these conditions to ensure a healthy, functional mouth.
Maintaining gum health not only prevents tooth loss but also contributes to overall well- being. Studies have shown that periodontal disease can be linked to systemic problems such as:
Diabetes: People with diabetes are at increased risk of developing periodontal infections, and these in turn can make it difficult to control blood sugar.
Pregnancy complications: Periodontal disease has been associated with preterm births and low birth weight.
Preservation of Natural Teeth: By treating gum disease early, tooth loss is prevented, and the functionality of the denture is maintained.
Improved Overall Health: A healthy mouth contributes to better overall health, reducing the risk of systemic diseases related to oral infections.
Dental Aesthetics: Periodontal treatments improve the appearance of the gums and teeth, providing a more attractive and healthier smile.

are some essential tips:Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft-bristled brush.
Floss daily to remove food debris between your teeth.
