Periodontics
Periodontists are dentists specializing in the prevention, diagnosis and
treatment of diseases involving the gums and bone surrounding the teeth,
and the mucosal tissues of the mouth, and in the placement and maintenance
of dental implants. As co-therapists, the periodontist (a specialist in
gum disease) will assess the oral health care for the patient. The patient
will be educated about the dental disease process, treatment plans
discussed, and individualized home care regimens developed.
Frequently Asked Questions

an unpleasant taste in your mouth or if you notice loose teeth.

What is periodontal disease?
Periodontal disease, which was formerly known as “pyorrhea”, is a
bacterial disease that attacks the soft tissues and bone that surround and
support your teeth. Because periodontal disease is often painless, it may
go unnoticed. This is why daily oral hygiene and regular dental checkups
are important.
How often should I have my teeth cleaned?
This depends on your individual needs. The periodontist and the
periodontal dental hygienist determine the necessary interval after
initial treatment is completed
