For periodontal or gum disease you are required to consult a specialist known as a periodontist. He is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants. If you or your loved ones are suffering from oral inflammation it is time to consult a Periodontist.

One of the most neglected areas of health is dental hygiene. So how many times have you visited your dentist for a periodic dental checkup? Most people don’t find it necessary to consult a dental expert unless they have severe problems in their oral area. Lack of awareness and importance of dental health is the prime cause behind this behavior. Dentists and periodontists are very valuable professionals and it is thus recommended that you consult a dentist at least twice in a year to keep your gums and teeth healthy.

• Oral surgery
• Partial dentures
• Nutrition counseling
• Orthodontics
• Sealants
• Restorative care
• Tobacco cessation
• Root canal therapy

Most often people enjoying god oral health consult the periodontist on regular basis for the services including:

1. Cleaning

Regular cleaning and scaling treatments can prevent tooth decay and nip any dental issue in the bud. Cavities are the most widespread cause of long term disease of teeth and molars. Due to lax attitude towards dental cleaning cavities develop and multiple faster. In absence of regular cleaning the plaque in the form of bacteria sticks to your teeth and transforms to periodontal infection.

2. Flossing

Flossing is the right method to clean your teeth and gum. With the help of a waxy thread you can clean the spaces in-between the teeth to remove every debris and food particles. You dentist can show you the right way to floss and help prevent major dental issues.
