A Periodontist’s primary patients are those who have gum disease. Patients who need a dental implant and have a lost tooth should consult a periodontist in addition to their general dentist.
A periodontist is a specialist who treats issues that affect your gums and the bones in your mouth. Periodontal disease affects nearly 7 of every 10 Canadians. The Canadian Dental Association recommends flossing and brushing twice daily to keep gums clean and healthy. During each hygiene and check-up appointment, your dentist will evaluate the health of your gums, and develop a treatment plan to address any concerns involving the gums.
It’s critical to realize that if periodontal disease isn’t treated, it can lead to serious health issues. Regular dental examinations and cleanings will help in the early detection of periodontal disease. When gum disease is diagnosed in the gingivitis stage, it can be reversed.
You may need a periodontal consult if you notice any of these signs of gum disease:

Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease. Treatment, as well as keeping your mouth and teeth clean and seeing the dentist regularly, can help you handle this disease. More severe gum disease, often known as periodontitis, may need more extensive treatment. When this happens, your dentist may refer you for a consultation to a periodontist in SmileOn’s network of dental specialists.Â
Your dental and medical histories will be reviewed by the periodontist. Then they’ll perform their own dental examination to determine the best course of action. Scaling and root planing (cleaning diseased root surfaces), root surface debridement (removal of damaged tissue), and regenerative process are some of the therapies offered by periodontists in collaboration with your dentist.
