Periodontics
It is a branch of Oral Surgery and Dentistry that treats the diseases of the gums and the tissues that support the teeth.
The most frequent symptoms of periodontal disease are redness and spontaneous bleeding of the gums, the bad smell or taste of mouth, increased sensitivity, elongated teeth or mobility in more extreme cases.
The treatment consists of eliminating or correcting the factors that cause the gum disease and depending on the severity and affectation:

Pathology of the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ).
The temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) connects the jawbone to the skull. It allows us to talk, chew, gesture, etc. When there is an alteration of this joint we find symptoms such as:

  • Pain, which can radiate to head, face and neck.
  • Rigidity in muscles of the face.
  • Limitation in mouth opening.
  • Articular clicks.
  • Dislocation of the joint.
  • Changes in the alignment of the teeth.

Sometimes we find the phenomenon known as BRUXISM which is the habit of clenching or grinding of teeth, performed outside of the moments of food chewing. This habit can wear or break the tooth, sharpen or cause gingivitis, produce headache.
The treatment of these disorders includes: physical measures, relaxation exercises, orthopedic devices (splints), infiltrations, surgery, etc.
