What is Periodontics?

Periodontics is the field of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions that affect the supporting structures of the teeth, particularly the gums and bone. Common periodontal issues include gingivitis and periodontitis, an advanced stage of gum disease. A healthy smile begins with a healthy foundation. Our dentists, with their expertise in periodontics, provide comprehensive care to ensure your gums stay healthy and support a lifetime of smiles.

Gum & Connective Tissue Grafting

For gums affected by recession, grafting can add tissue around exposed tooth roots to rebuild a healthier, more protective gumline. This helps protect vulnerable areas while improving the balance and appearance of your smile.

Healthy Gums Support Healthy Teeth

Your gums are easy to overlook when they’re feeling their best, but they play an important role in keeping your entire smile healthy. When inflammation, recession, or gum disease develops, addressing it early can help protect both your gums and the structures supporting your teeth.

At North Brooklyn Dental Care, we pay close attention to changes above and below the gumline. Knowing what to watch for at home can help you recognize when your gums may need a little extra care:

Bleeding Gums: Occasional irritation can happen, but gums that regularly bleed while brushing or flossing deserve a closer look.
Receding Gums: Teeth that suddenly appear longer or more sensitive may be a sign that the gumline is beginning to pull back.
Swelling or Tenderness: Red, puffy, or uncomfortable gums can point to inflammation that may benefit from periodontal treatment.
Persistent Bad Breath: When bad breath sticks around despite good brushing and flossing, bacteria hiding below the gumline could be contributing.

With personalized periodontal care in Greenpoint, North Brooklyn Dental Care can help protect the gums, bone, and tissues that keep your teeth supported. A healthier smile starts with a strong foundation, and we’re here to help you maintain yours.
