The Doctor of Your Gums: Periodontists

Specialized gum specialists, known as periodontists, focus on preventing and treating gum diseases. Your oral health relies heavily on gums, and you should not underestimate their importance. Dentists who specialize in periodontics possess extensive training and knowledge about the latest advancements in treating gum-related ailments and cosmetic procedures.


Cases Treated under Periodontics

Consult our Periodontists for various gum-related concerns, including:

  • Oral inflammations, gingival bleeding, swellings, or morphological changes in the gums or periodontal tissues.
  • Treatment of common diseases like gingivitis or periodontitis caused by poor oral hygiene, systemic complications (diabetes, leukemia), or pregnancy.
  • Poor oral status treatment through scaling or root planing, involving the removal of plaques and calculus using ultrasonic scalers and addressing root infections.
  • Treatment of recession, which exposes the roots, causing pain and sensitivity.
  • Treatment of pockets formation through curettage or deep scaling to remove infection and promote healthy tissue regeneration.
  • Dental implant placements, maintenance, and monitoring for complications like peri-implantitis.
  • Flap surgeries to remove necrotic tissues, debride surfaces, and stimulate the regrowth of healthy tissues in severe periodontal conditions like aggressive periodontitis.

Collaborative Treatment with Periodontists & General Dentists

Periodontists collaborate with general dentists to develop comprehensive treatment plans for patients. They work together to provide the best options for gum and periodontal tissue complications. If you have any gum-related complaints, it is essential to address them promptly to prevent further progression into more severe diseases.
