Ask A Professional: Who Should Treat My Periodontal Disease?

Who should treat my periodontal disease: my general dentist or a periodontist?

When it comes to your oral health problems, taking a serious approach to treatment should be your first priority. Several people struggle with what to do when deal with periodontal disease, and aren't sure where to turn.  Instead of leaving your periodontal treatment to one dental professional, you really should have both your general dentist and periodontist actively involved in your diagnosis and treatment as a team.  

Your general dentist is familiar with your dental and medical history, and can help your periodontist in that aspect. Your periodontist, has all of the general dentist training and background, yet specializes with extensive experience in treating periodontal disease. Together, they can collaborate to tailor your treatment for your individual needs.

When you visit our Lubbock, TX dental office, your smile is our top priority. Dr. Wentz and her entire team are dedicated to providing you with the personalized, quality dental care that you deserve.
