Periodontics

What is a Periodontist?

Periodontists are dentists who have undertaken post-graduate training in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. As periodontists, they devote their time, energy and skill to helping patients care for their gums.

Why is your dentist referring you to a Periodontist?

Your dentist has determined that your gums require special attention. The periodontist and dentist work together as a team to provide you with the highest level of care. They will combine their experience to recommend the best treatment available to you while keeping each other informed on your progress. By referring you to the specialist, your dentist is showing a strong commitment to your dental health.
