Discussion Of Medical and Dental History

A periodontist will work with a wide range of dental conditions including everything from severe gum disease to infections below the gum line. In addition, a periodontist often uses a variety of surgical procedures as a way to properly place and maintain and even repair dental implants. In most cases an initial visit with a periodontist will involve a discussion of medical and dental history as well as a detailed examination of the gums and teeth to check for any possible recession. A periodontist will also examine how the teeth fit together while biting. While some general dentistry professionals can do a limited amount of periodontal work, it is often best to seek out a professional periodontist when required.
