What Does a Periodontist Do?
A periodontist is a dental specialist who treats the jawbone that supports the teeth as well as soft tissues of the mouth. At The Dental Room in Calgary, we offer a wide range of periodontal services and treat patients of all ages at our office.
Conditions That a Periodontist in Calgary Can Treat
Periodontists are primarily responsible for diagnosing conditions affecting the jawbone and gums and preventing the onset of periodontal disease (gum disease). They treat bone loss, periodontitis, and gingivitis. Periodontal disease is essentially a progressive condition. It is also the key cause of tooth loss in adults.
A periodontist can treat mild, moderate as well as advanced gum disease. They will address the bacterial infection, which is the root of the problem and provide suitable periodontal treatment. They also help to educate patients on how to clean their teeth effectively and maintain a good oral hygiene routine.
The Most Common Conditions That a Periodontist Treats Include:
Gingivitis
Mild/moderate periodontitis
Advanced periodontitis
Missing teeth
They Also Perform Treatments Such As:
Implant placement
Gingivoplasty (soft tissue recontouring)
