What Is a Periodontist?
A periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease. They receive additional years of training beyond dental school to become experts in managing conditions that affect the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.
If you have symptoms like swollen or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, or gum recession, visiting a periodontist can help prevent serious oral health issues. They also perform advanced procedures such as gum grafts, pocket reduction surgery, and bone regeneration to restore and maintain a healthy smile.
At our Fort Worth dental practice, we work closely with periodontists to ensure our patients receive the best care for their gum health. Whether you need specialized treatment or just want to learn more about maintaining strong gums, we’re here to help.
