Periodontics is the dental specialty that focuses exclusively on the inflammatory disease that destroys the gums and other supporting structures around the teeth. A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease, or in the placement of dental implants. Periodontists receive extensive training in these areas, including three additional years of education beyond dental school. As specialists in periodontal disease, they are experts in the latest techniques to diagnose and treat periodontal disease. They are also trained in cosmetic periodontal procedures.
Periodontists treat cases ranging from mild gingivitis to more severe periodontitis. Periodontists offer a wide range of treatments, such as cleaning infected root surfaces, debridement of the root surface (removal of damaged tissue), and regenerative procedures (reversal of lost bones and tissues). When necessary, periodontists can also perform surgical procedures for patients with severe gum disease. In addition, periodontists are trained in the placement, maintenance and repair of dental implants.
