Periodontist Islington

Healthy gums are essential for a healthy smile, and at Islington Green Dental Practice, we provide expert care to address and manage conditions affecting your gums, bone, and supporting tissues. Our specialist periodontist, Dr. Anastasiya Orishko, offers tailored treatments to combat gum disease and restore your oral health.

What Is Periodontics?

Periodontics is a branch of dentistry dedicated to diagnosing, preventing, and treating gum disease and other conditions affecting the tissues that support your teeth. Gum disease typically begins as gingivitis, a mild inflammation of the gums, which can progress to periodontitis if left untreated.

Periodontitis is a more advanced form of gum disease that can lead to the separation of gums from teeth, damage to the jawbone, and, ultimately, tooth loss. Early intervention is key to preventing long-term damage and preserving your smile.

Signs of Gum Disease

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, we recommend contacting our practice for an assessment as soon as possible:

• Receding gums
• Bleeding during brushing or flossing
• Discharge or pus around the gums
• Spacing between front teeth
• Changes in your bite or how your teeth fit together

Addressing these signs early can prevent the progression of gum disease and save your teeth.
