Baby Dental Blog, What is a Periodontist Dentist?
Hi I am eight months pregnant with our first child. I have been having some issues with one of my teeth hurting. I went to the dentist that did a filling. I feel much better. However, the dentist stated to me that I should see a periodontist dentist after I have my child. He said that I have some gum issues that could be because of being pregnant but to have it looked at. That he could do a deep cleaning but feels I should see a periodontist dentist that they have in their office.
I was just saying okay and that I would look into doing just that after I have the baby and we settle down some. The thing is I am not sure what a periodontist dentist is and what it is a periodontist dentist does. I guessing it has to do about my gums or having a deep cleaning is that what they do?
