The tools of a periodontist may not differ from a dentist, but the added education and experience determines the improved level of treatment you will receive. |
Periodontal disease can affect more than just the gums. It
can also affect the teeth, jaw bone, and general health of the body. Those with
periodontal disease have an increased risk of stroke or heart attack. It is
important to see a periodontist, a dentist who specializes in periodontal
disease, when seeking treatment options. These professionals receive more
education and training to deal with the specialized needs of those suffering
from periodontal disease.
A periodontist can treat periodontal disease through
surgical or non-surgical methods. When teeth need to be removed due to
periodontal damage, implants may be used to replace one or more teeth. A full
mouth restoration may be necessary in some cases.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Periodontal cosmetic surgery or sometimes referred to as
periodontal plastic surgery may be necessary to correct problems that occur
from severe cases of periodontal disease, birth defects, or for cosmetic
reasons. Tooth sockets, gums, and areas of the tongue may be altered or
repaired, depending on the needs of the patient.
Oral Cancer
A periodontist also specializes in oral cancer screenings to
detect any signs or symptoms of cancer anywhere in the mouth. The periodontist
will examine the mouth by sight and by touching areas in the mouth to feel for
firmness and for unusual lumps or skin abnormalities. If any unusual sores are
discovered, a biopsy can be taken to determine if it is cancerous or not.
