What is a Periodontist
Report
A periodontist is a highly skilled dental health professional who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infections and diseases in the soft tissues surrounding the teeth and the jawbone to which the teeth are anchored. A dentist must first graduate from an accredited dental school before undertaking an additional two years of study within a periodontology residency training program in order to qualify as a periodontist.
When to See a Periodontist
Report
There are several ways treatment from a periodontist may be sought. When teeth are missing, whether a single tooth, multiple teeth or all of the teeth are missing, the family dentist may recommend a consultation with a periodontist for dental implant therapy.
In the course of a regular dental check up, if the family dentist or dental hygienist finds signs and symptoms of periodontal disease, a consultation with a periodontist may also be recommended.We work closely with each referral source; however a referral from a family dentist is not required to make an appointment in our office.

Diagnosis
Report
Periodontal disease is diagnosed by your dentist or dental hygienist or a periodontist during a periodontal examination. This type of exam should always be part of your regular dental check-up. A periodontal probe (small dental instrument) is gently used to measure the sulcus (pocket or space) between the tooth and the gums.
