A general dentist provides a broad range of dental care, from routine check-ups and fillings to crowns. A periodontist, on the other hand, is a dental specialist who has undergone additional training focusing specifically on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of advanced gum disease.
You may need specialist periodontal care if you notice ongoing issues such as bleeding, swollen, or tender gums, receding gum lines, persistent bad breath, or even loose teeth. Often, your general dentist will also suggest a referral to a specialist periodontist if they spot signs of more advanced gum disease that needs expert attention.
Periodontal treatment can involve a range of procedures, from thorough deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to surgical interventions like gum grafts. Your specific treatment plan is tailored to your individual case and based on the type and severity of your gum disease. Periodontal treatment also includes tailored tips and advice for your at-home care.
Gum disease is an infection and inflammation of the gums and bone that surround and support your teeth. The early stage, known as gingivitis, causes bleeding gums, gum inflammation and sensitivity. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to a more advanced stage, periodontitis, which can cause loose teeth and even tooth loss.
In its early stages, gum disease is often reversible. Gingivitis treatment includes good oral hygiene and professional teeth cleaning. However, once it progresses to periodontitis, the damage to the bone and supporting tissues is generally not reversible. Periodontal disease can be controlled and managed with careful treatment by a specialist periodontist.
The duration of periodontal treatment can vary significantly, depending on the severity of your case. It can range from a few appointments to deep clean your teeth and gums to a programme of procedures and follow-up care lasting several months. Your periodontist will be able to advise you at your consultation.
Yes, there is increasing evidence that connects gum disease to several wider health issues, such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems. By effectively treating your periodontal disease, you can help reduce inflammation throughout your body and potentially boost your overall well-being.
