Your oral health can act as a beacon for any underlying overall health problems you may have. That’s why it’s so important to have regular periodontal checks to assess the state of all the structures that support your teeth: the gums, root surface, jaw bone, and the joints between the teeth and bone.
Periodontal appointments differ from hygiene appointments in that the treatments given do not solely deal with keeping the teeth clean and healthy. Periodontists will treat advanced gum disease and its symptoms at a deeper level. If you’re struggling to keep gum disease under control, or you’ve been referred by your regular dentist, a periodontist can provide relief and remedying actions.
