Periodontists are specialists who complete three years of advanced training after dental school, with a focus on dental implant placement, gum infections, and other soft tissue conditions.
At Implants & Periodontics, we understand that each smile is unique, and we take pride in offering personalized treatment plans that cater to individual needs. Our commitment goes beyond providing stock solutions, ensuring you receive a tailored approach, resulting in a smile that reflects your distinctive features and preferences.
Making you comfortable and helping you heal are always our top priorities.
Before you’re seen by a periodontist, there are a few ways that you can alleviate your discomfort and aid in your recovery. You can take a non-prescription pain reliever if needed. If you’ve had a tooth knocked out or come loose, replace the tooth back in the socket if you can and secure it there until you get help. If that’s not possible, put the tooth in a small container of milk to keep it moist. Rinse it off with water if it’s dirty (e.g., it fell on the ground) but make sure not to dislodge any tissue that may still be attached. If we’re able to see you soon enough, we might be able to put the tooth back into place.
IMPORTANT: If you’re experiencing head or neck pain, have excessive bleeding, are dizzy, or have sustained severe trauma, you should seek medical attention immediately by calling 911 or by having someone take you to the closest emergency medical facility. Dedicated medical personnel are best prepared to assist you in such cases.
