You have learned that you need to see a periodontist. Maybe you feel nervous or scared. You may also feel excited to finally have your dental problem resolved.
Why do you need this first visit?
Visiting your periodontist for the first time is a very important step without which you cannot proceed so that the overall treatment plan can be determined. Periodontal diseases progress and only worsen if left untreated. Periodontists specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal diseases. They are trained and have acquired the necessary skills for the surgical treatment of periodontal diseases and the placement of dental implants.
Don’t worry about the first visit because it will be like a consultation or preliminary examination that will allow the periodontist to assess what future procedures you will need.
What to expect at that first visit to the periodontist?
If you’ve never been to a periodontist, you’re probably wondering how your first visit will go. First, a periodontist will discuss with you your general state of health, as well as dental health. They need to know if you are taking any medication or have a condition that affects your periodontal health, such as diabetes or pregnancy. If you have any illness, do not hesitate to share it. At the first visit, the periodontist will perform a detailed comprehensive examination of your mouth and gums, which will help him make a diagnosis and determine the future treatment plan.
It is most likely not the end of the world if you visit a periodontist without fear or worry, but it will be the end of your teeth. If you want to have a healthy smile, you need to take care of your oral health. When you visit a periodontist, you will finally be able to solve the problems you have been having.
