When you are faced with a dental issue and you have no knowledge of what type of dental expert you need you are only going to make things worse for yourself because you are going to have to consult a medical expert first, wait for their appointment and they will then direct you to a dental expert that deals with whatever sort of dental issue you have, so it is better that you educate yourself on which type of dental issue require who’s attention, we are here to discuss about periodontists, what they and who they are and how they are different from other types of dentists, and don’t worry if you don’t have detailed knowledge on who they are because usually people think that a general dentist or a dental surgeons covers all sorts of dental and oral health issues but that is not the case.
According to The Perio Pocket, it is important to understand that a general dentist cannot treat advanced periodontal issues and diseases and it is only a specialist who is a periodontist that can deal with such advanced issues and you should be responsible enough and smart enough to judge the issue you have and honestly if the disease is at an advanced stage then the pain would be such that it will tell and you would go to a periodontist, root planning, scaling and cleaning is something that both, general dentist and periodontists do but advanced gum diseases which have the capacity to take away a teeth or two should only be dealt with by a periodontist.
I had suffered with periodontal disease and my biggest mistake was to let a general dentist fill it up and it made things even worse, if you are having these spaces or opening around your teeth then only consult a periodontist.
