A Periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal diseases, which affect the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Periodontists provide treatments such as scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar, and gum grafting to repair damaged gum tissue. They also perform surgical procedures like pocket reduction and bone grafting to address more severe cases. If you experience bleeding gums, loose teeth, or persistent bad breath, a Periodontist may be the right specialist to consult. When choosing a Periodontist, look for one who is certified by the American Board of Periodontology and has a good reputation in the community.

Periodontist — FAQ
What is the difference between a Periodontist and a General Dentist?
A Periodontist has advanced training in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases, while a General Dentist provides routine dental care and may not have the same level of expertise in periodontal treatment.
Do I need a referral from my General Dentist to see a Periodontist?
While a referral is not always necessary, it's recommended that you see a Periodontist if your General Dentist recommends it. A Periodontist can also be seen directly for a consultation.
What should I look for when choosing a Periodontist?
Look for a Periodontist who is certified, has a good reputation, and is experienced in the treatments you need. Check online reviews and ask for referrals from friends or family members.
