Periodontology – Gum Health & Tooth Support
Periodontology is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the gums and the tissues that support the teeth. Healthy gums are essential for maintaining the teeth and ensuring overall oral health.
