Baby Dental Blog, What is a Periodontist Dentist?

Monday, May. 17th 2010 6:32 PM

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?
