You may
think your periodontist only does deep cleanings, implants or fixes periodontal
disease. However, Periodontist Dr. Denine Rice says, "you might be surprise to find your periodontist has a host of
periodontal skills they can provide to keep your smile in tip-top shape."
1. Gum Grafting, if your gums have receded due to
periodontal disease or trauma Dr. Denine Rice, can help restore your gums in
order to provide the look you want.
2. Depigmentation can be provided with the laser used for
periodontal disease. If you have an amalgam tattoo or want to change the
pigmentation of your gums, she can use a laser to treat the area.
3. Smoking cessation programs-Dr. Rice is committed to
helping her patients live a healthier life. She can provide suggestions and
support to get you on the right track to being smoke free.
4. Tissue Recontouring can reshape the tissue around your
teeth. Think of your tissue as the frame for your teeth, some gentle and minute
changes can in fact make your smile look like a million.
5. Bone grafting is a surgery conducted where artificial or
real bone is placed on the jawbone in order to build up the area and help
stimulate growth. Bone loss can occur for multiple reasons and may need to be
corrected before other procedures can be done to correct missing or broken
teeth.
I have been looking into getting a my gums checked because they have been giving me pain lately. This is great information and now I know what kind of treatments a periodontist can do for me. I hope that I will be able to get this figured out because the pain is getting pretty out of hand. I hope that I can either get some medication, or set up an appointment for a treatment.
