How a Periodontist Helps Prevent Gum Disease
One aspect of periodontics that doesn’t get as much attention as the treatment of gum disease is the prevention of gum disease. A periodontist shouldn’t just be there to treat instances of periodontal disease. They can also help you avoid the disease in the first place.

The AAP formulated the Comprehensive Periodontal Exam, an annual examination that aims to detect any signs of gum disease early. The exam also gives dentists a good overview of how healthy a patient’s mouth is. During the exam, a periodontist will evaluate your teeth, gums, plaque, bone structure, bite and any risk factors you might have, such as smoking or a family history of gum disease.
