Who should see a Periodontist?
Some patients’ periodontal issues can be managed by a general dentist. If any signs of periodontal disease are exhibited, coupled with research that suggests a relationship between periodontal disease and other chronic diseases of aging, periodontal treatment may necessitate a greater understanding and increased level of expertise by a trained specialist. Patients who present with moderate or severe levels of gum disease, or that have complex cases, will be best managed by a partnership between the dentist and periodontist.
