A periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth and dental implants; including the gums, bone, and periodontal ligament. They are also Oral Medicine specialists trained to diagnose and manage Oral disease and conditions.

With advanced training four years beyond general dentistry, periodontists are experts in managing complex cases involving gum inflammation, gum recession, and bone loss, as well as placing and maintaining dental implants.

Why See a Periodontist?

If you are experiencing persistent gum bleeding, bad breath, receding gums, or loose teeth, a periodontist can offer specialised care to prevent tooth loss and maintain your oral health. Periodontists also work closely with general dentists and other specialists to provide comprehensive, long-term care.

Oral Medicine is a specialised field of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis and non-surgical management of conditions affecting the mouth and related structures. It bridges the gap between medicine and dentistry, addressing complex oral health issues that may be linked to systemic diseases.

Oral Medicine specialists are trained to evaluate and treat a wide range of chronic, painful, or medically complex oral conditions, often working alongside medical professionals in dermatology, oncology, rheumatology, and internal medicine.

Why See an Oral Medicine Specialist?

If you’re experiencing persistent sores, unusual changes in the mouth, an Oral Medicine consultation can help identify the cause and offer appropriate treatment. Early diagnosis and proper management are essential—especially when symptoms may be a sign of underlying medical conditions.
