Periodontics — common questions
What does a periodontist do?
Treats gum disease, performs deep cleanings and gum procedures, and places dental implants.
Do I need a referral?
Often your general dentist will refer you, but many periodontists also accept patients directly.
What are signs of gum disease?
Bleeding, swollen, or receding gums, persistent bad breath, or loose teeth — see a periodontist if you notice these.
