Have you been experiencing inflamed gums, deep pockets, bad breath or loose teeth? Has your dentist or dental hygienist suggested scheduling an appointment with a periodontist? Consider our periodontist at Advanced Dental Arts in Norwell to help address gum health concerns.
A periodontist specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, as well as dental implant placement. Periodontal disease affects structures supporting the teeth, including gums, that become inflamed due to poor oral hygiene and plaque buildup. If not treated by a periodontist, the disease may result in discomfort, bleeding gums, problems when chewing and subsequently, tooth loss.
