Frequently Asked Questions

What causes gum disease?

Who needs a periodontist?

How to diagnose periodontitis?

Your dentist will ask you about the signs and symptoms along with your medical history. Our experts will examine whether you have any signs of inflammation or not. By using a periodontal probe, dentists will try to check whether you have pockets or not surrounding your teeth. Moreover, you might be advised to take an X-ray of your teeth. This will help you to understand how much bone has been lost already.
