What it is
Periodontal care focuses on the gums and supporting structures around teeth. The approach depends on the findings of a clinical assessment.
What a visit may involve
The team examines gum health and discusses cleaning, maintenance or further treatment. Some needs may require referral.
Your dentist would explain the proposed approach, alternatives, potential risks and expected costs before any treatment decision.
A question to bring
