What is it?

What is periodontics?

Updated May 12, 2026

Periodontics is the dental speciality that deals with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases affecting the tissues that surround and support teeth: gums, alveolar bone, root cement and periodontal ligament. Periodontal disease (gingivitis and pyorrhoea) is one of the main causes of tooth loss in adults.

Periodontal disease ranges from gingivitis (mild inflammation of the gums) to periodontitis or pyorrhoea (serious infection that destroys bone). Early treatment is key to preventing tooth loss. People with untreated periodontal disease also have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Step by step

Periodontics treatment phases

The treatment phases depend on the progression of the disease. The more advanced it is, the more invasive the treatment needed will be.

1

Prevention: gingivitis

Gingivitis is a reversible inflammation of gum tissue, usually painless with very mild symptoms. It can be prevented and reversed with good oral hygiene and with the help of dentists and hygienists who remove tartar. If untreated, it can progress to periodontitis.

2

Non-invasive treatment: scaling and root planing

When periodontitis is not very advanced, minimally invasive treatments are carried out: scaling and root planing to remove tartar and bacteria from the surface of the teeth and from under the gums. It is carried out with manual instruments such as curettes or with an ultrasonic device or laser.

3

Surgical treatment in advanced cases

When periodontitis is advanced, surgery may be necessary: flap surgery, soft tissue grafts, bone grafts or guided tissue regeneration. These techniques allow for more effective removal of tartar and replacement of lost soft and hard tissues.

4

Periodic maintenance

All periodontal treatments require routine oral hygiene maintenance at home and regular check-ups at the clinic. It is recommended to brush teeth at least twice a day for two minutes, use dental floss once a day, and have a dental cleaning at least once or twice a year.

Nara

Llevo varios meses yendo a esta clínica realizando un seguimiento de periodoncia. En todo momento me han explicado el proceso, han sido cuidadosos y con completa delicadeza para tratarme e intentar hacerme el mínimo daño. Además se han interesado por cómo llevo el proceso y me han felicitado por mis avances. Sin duda se nota que esta clínica cuenta con una gran variedad de personal de odontología que sabe lo que hace.

Paula

Fui a hacerme periodoncia. Sufro de ansiedad y la anestesia y los procedimientos médicos me ponen nerviosa, pero fueron increíblemente amables. Me guiaron durante todo el proceso, me explicaron todo paso a paso, con mucho cuidado y empatía. De verdad que por primera vez en mi vida dan ganas de ir al dentista.

Daniel

Recomiendo, sin ninguna duda, los tratamientos de periodoncia. El tratamiento se realiza con muchísima experiencia, sin ningún tipo de dolor, de forma muy divulgativa y con unos resultados excelentes. El trato del personal es cercano y muy atento.

FAQs about periodontics

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the tissues that support teeth: gums, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. It is vital for maintaining good oral health, as periodontal diseases can lead to tooth loss and affect general health.

Symptoms can include red and inflamed gums, bleeding when brushing or flossing, gum recession, persistent bad breath, loose teeth and changes in the bite. Early detection and treatment are key to preventing permanent damage.

Treatment varies depending on severity. In early stages it can include professional cleanings and improved home hygiene. In more advanced cases, it includes scaling and root planing and even periodontal surgery.

Prevention includes adequate oral hygiene with regular brushing and flossing, regular dental visits for examinations and cleanings, and avoiding smoking. Maintaining a balanced diet also contributes to gum health.

Cost varies depending on the case and its severity. You can consult the Adeslas price list in the prices section of this page.
