While Periodontists also have general dentistry training, their focus is the diagnosing and treating of gum disease. They will examine gumlines for any recession and teeth for any damage to root structure as well as the jawbone to see if there is any bone loss. They will monitor gum health and determine if a patient has gum disease. They may recommend bone grafts, open socket grafts, scaling, planing, or periodontal maintenance. All of these can be utilized in combating advanced gum disease.
