What is Periodontics?

Periodontics is the dental specialty focused on the structures that support your teeth—mainly the gums and bone. "Perio" means around, and "dontics" relates to the tooth. That’s why periodontists specialize in preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease, managing gum recession, and placing dental implants.
