What will happen during the first visit to my Periodontist?
After reviewing your medical and dental history, the Periodontist will examine your gums, teeth, and mouth. This examination will include looking at the color and firmness of your gums, studying which teeth are loose, checking for gum pockets, and checking how much gum tissue has been lost. Necessary radiographs (x-rays) may be taken to evaluate the bone supporting the teeth. After gathering this information, the Periodontist will discuss your condition with you and your General Dentist, and your team will decide upon the best treatment for your dental health.
