Surgical: Periodontist
A periodontist is a dental specialist in periodontal (gum) disease.
We provide treatment is provided for the following problems:
-
Pockets (when the collar of gum becomes infected and detaches from the tooth, the space it leaves is called a pocket).
-
Bleeding (although a common occurrence, gums should not bleed regularly and is an early sign that pockets and boneless will occur)
-
Bone loss (if left untreated bone loss due to periodontal decay can lead to teeth removal)
-
Loose teeth; spaces forming between front teeth (although crowding of the mandibular (lower) front incisors occurs naturally as we age, space forming between some of the maxillary (front) teeth is a sign of advanced bone loss. This bone loss is due to the lack of tooth support which is a manifestation of progressive gum disease.)
-
Halitosis (bad breath)
-
Abscess (the expansion of a gum pocket due to trapped bacteria.)
