What to Expect at Your Periodontist Appointment
When you visit a periodontist at Naperville Dental Specialists, they’ll review your medical and dental histories and go over any medications you’re taking. They’ll perform a thorough oral exam to check for gum recession and loose teeth, while also evaluating how your bite comes together. The periodontist will then measure the depth of your gum pockets (the spaces between the teeth and gums) and may take digital x-rays to assess the condition of the bone under your gum line.
The periodontist will wrap up the appointment by walking you through your diagnosis, answering any questions you have and presenting you with a personalized periodontal treatment plan. Following any procedures, they’ll continue to partner with your general dentist to manage your long-term periodontal health. If periodontal surgery is necessary, or you’re anxious about treatment, we offer safe, in-office sedation, including oral conscious sedation and general anesthesia at our practice.
