What Is Periodontics?

Periodontics is the dental specialty concerned with preventing, diagnosing, and treating diseases affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.

A periodontist, also known as a gum specialist, manages conditions such as gingivitis, periodontitis, gum recession, periodontal pockets, and supporting bone loss.

Periodontics also involves procedures such as gum grafting, periodontal surgery, tissue regeneration, and the management of inflammatory conditions around dental implants.

When Should You See a Periodontist?

You may benefit from a periodontal consultation if you experience:

  • Bleeding or swollen gums, particularly during brushing or flossing
  • Receding gums, making teeth appear longer, or exposing roots
  • Persistent bad breath despite regular oral hygiene
  • Loose or shifting teeth, or changes in your bite
  • Tooth sensitivity associated with exposed roots
  • Inflammation around dental implants, including bleeding or swelling

Gum disease can progress without significant pain. An examination helps identify the underlying condition and determine appropriate treatment.

How We Assess Your Gum Health

A periodontal consultation involves more than examining the visible gumline. Depending on your condition, the assessment may include:

  • Reviewing your dental and medical history
  • Examining gum inflammation, recession, and tooth mobility
  • Measuring periodontal pocket depths
  • Checking bleeding and supporting tissue conditions
  • Reviewing appropriate dental X-rays to assess bone levels
  • Discussing treatment options and follow-up care

Not all patients require surgery. Many periodontal conditions can initially be managed with non-surgical therapy, followed by reassessment and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Periodontics

What does a periodontist treat in Dubai?

A periodontist is a dental specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the gums, supporting bone, and tissues surrounding teeth. At DRHC Dental Clinic in Dubai, periodontal services include gum disease treatment, gum recession care, gum grafting, scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery, and assessment of inflammation around dental implants.

When should I see a gum specialist?

You should consider seeing a gum specialist (periodontist) if you have persistent bleeding gums, receding gums, swollen gum tissue, loose teeth, or recurring gum inflammation. These symptoms may indicate periodontal disease or other conditions affecting the tissues supporting your teeth. A specialist examination can help identify the cause and determine appropriate treatment.

What is the difference between a dentist and a periodontist?

A general dentist provides routine oral healthcare, including checkups, fillings, and preventive treatment. A periodontist has additional specialist training in diagnosing and managing gum disease, supporting bone loss, gum recession, and complex periodontal conditions. Patients may be referred to a periodontist when their gum condition requires specialist care.

Can gum disease be treated without surgery?

Yes, many cases of gum disease can be managed without surgery. Gingivitis can often be reversed with appropriate oral hygiene and professional care. Periodontitis may require scaling and root planing and ongoing periodontal maintenance. Surgery may be considered when deep periodontal pockets or other problems remain after non-surgical treatment. Learn about gum disease treatment.

Can receding gums grow back naturally?

Receded gum tissue generally does not grow back naturally. Non-surgical treatment can help address contributing factors and prevent further recession. For suitable patients, gum grafting surgery may improve gum thickness or provide coverage of exposed tooth roots. Treatment depends on the extent of recession and the condition of the surrounding tissues.

Can a periodontist treat problems around dental implants?

Yes, periodontists can assess and treat inflammatory conditions around dental implants. These include peri-implant mucositis, which affects the surrounding gum tissue, and peri-implantitis, which involves inflammation and progressive supporting bone loss. At DRHC, treatment planning depends on the condition of the implant and surrounding tissues. Explore peri-implantitis treatment.

How much does periodontal treatment cost in Dubai?

The cost of periodontal treatment in Dubai depends on the diagnosis and procedure required. Non-surgical gum treatment, gum grafting, and periodontal surgery have different clinical requirements and costs.
