Periodontics

At Two Rivers Orthodontics, we understand that some problems need a specialist’s touch. In the science of dentistry, a Periodontist can be classified as one.

Periodontics is the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the gums, as well as other structures that support the teeth. A periodontist can also perform surgery, if the case requires one.

WHEN SHOULD YOU SEE A PERIODONTIST?

The field of periodontics is one of the nine specialty practice areas recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA). Here are a few issues that you can approach a Periodontist for :

• Oral inflammation
• Gum diseases like Periodontitis
• Scaling and rooting
• Placement, maintenance, and repair of dental implants
• Surgery in severe cases
• Bone and gum grafts
