When to See a Periodontics Specialist
See a periodontist if you have bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, or if your dentist has diagnosed gum disease. Patients considering dental implants should also consult a periodontist, as they specialize in the bone and gum tissue that supports implants.
What to Look for in a Periodontics Specialist
Seek a periodontist who is board certified by the American Board of Periodontology. Ask about their experience with your specific condition and what non-surgical and surgical treatment options they offer. A thorough initial examination should include a full periodontal charting and possibly digital imaging.
