The more you know about your dental and gum health the
better off you are. Don’t take chances with periodontal disease because in the
end you run the risk of causing more problems, not only for your smile but your
general health as well. A periodontist may be just the answer to help improve
the overall health of your smile. But before you sit down in the dental chair,
ask these questions.
1.
How long have they been a periodontist? While
every periodontist has to start somewhere it is important you know and
understand the level of experience the individual has prior to treating you.
2.
Do they utilize an FDA approved laser for
surgery for periodontal disease? While there may be a time and a place for
periodontal procedures without lasers, you’ll want to know if your periodontist
uses and has access to a laser that can reduce your healing time and improve your oral health.
3.
What type of options do they have for gums that
have receded? There are options to even out the front of your gums once you
have taken care of the periodontal disease but if you don’t ask, you won’t know
the best procedure for you.
4.
Will I lose my teeth if I don’t have a
periodontal surgery procedure done? While you may be impacted by periodontal
disease, until you schedule an appointment you won’t know the true impact that your
periodontal disease may have on your smile.
