A Periodontist is a dentist who specializes in periodontal disease. This includes the soft tissues of the mouth and areas that support teeth. These tissues are the gums, the bone and the periodontal ligaments.
When these tissues suffer deterioration due to gum disease, poor hygiene, or simply as we age, teeth lose their support and can become loose.
Periodontal disease is caused by bacterial infections. The bacteria travels through the bloodstream and can cause other health issues, too. For this reason, any dental infection, abscess, or notable gum problem should be treated immediately.
Here, we can see gum recession in the molar and how the it has recovered after treatment.
Firstly, here is some advice on how to avoid major problems with your gums and teeth.
Dr Juan Francisco Gomez and his friendly team are ready to help you.
If periodontal disease is caught early and hasn’t damaged the structures below the gum line, a professional cleaning should do. Hoever, if the pockets between your gums and teeth are too deep, then scaling and root planing may be needed.
This is a deep cleaning where the dentist removes all the plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) above and below the gumline. The periodontist makes sure to clean all the way down to the bottom of the pockets which have formed.
