What Is Periodontics?

Healthy gums and teeth after periodontal treatment in Pattaya at Digital Dental Center

Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum diseases and the supporting bone structure of the teeth. The term “periodontium” refers to the tissues surrounding the teeth—including the gums, bone, and periodontal ligament.

At our Pattaya dental clinic, we provide a wide range of specialist dental services for gum and bone health, including:

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease is a common but serious infection of the gums that can lead to bone loss, loose teeth, or even tooth loss. At Digital Dental Center Pattaya, we emphasize early detection and treatment to prevent irreversible damage.

Types of Periodontal Disease

Gingivitis

  • Early-stage gum inflammation caused by plaque buildup.
  • Symptoms include red, swollen, and bleeding gums.
  • Completely reversible with professional cleaning and daily care.

Periodontitis

  • A more severe form of gum disease where bacteria destroy the bone and soft tissues.
  • Leads to gum recession, deep pockets, and tooth mobility.
  • Requires more intensive treatments such as deep cleaning, laser therapy, or surgery.

What Causes Gum Disease?

There are several risk factors for gum disease, including:

  • Poor oral hygiene habits
  • Smoking or tobacco use
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy)
  • Chronic conditions such as diabetes
  • Certain medications that affect saliva production

Symptoms That Indicate Gum Disease

Not sure if you have gum disease? Here are common signs:

  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Gum recession or longer-looking teeth
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Loose or shifting teeth
  • Pain while chewing
  • Pus near the gums or tooth

Important: If you notice any of these symptoms, book a consultation immediately for early intervention.

Periodontal Treatments at Digital Dental Center Pattaya

We provide customized periodontal solutions depending on the stage of gum disease:

1.Scaling and Root Planing

Also known as “deep cleaning,” this is a non-surgical treatment where plaque and tartar are removed from beneath the gumline. It helps reduce gum inflammation and prevents progression of periodontitis.

2.Gum Surgery

Advanced periodontal disease may require minor surgical procedures:

  • Osseous Surgery – Flap surgery to reduce deep pockets and smooth damaged bone.
  • Bone Grafting – Regenerates bone lost due to infection or trauma.
  • Soft Tissue Grafting – Covers exposed roots and thickens gum tissue.

3.Dental Implants for Tooth Replacement

In cases where tooth loss occurs, we offer dental implants in Pattaya as a permanent replacement option. Implants can support a crown, bridge, or full arch with excellent aesthetics and function.

4.Laser Therapy

Minimally invasive treatment using soft tissue laser to eliminate infected gum tissue and promote faster healing. Learn more about laser gum treatment here.

In some cases, gum issues may be linked to infection in the tooth root. Explore our root canal treatment options if you’re experiencing deep pain or abscess near a specific tooth.
