What Is Periodontics?
Periodontics focuses on inflammatory diseases that damage the gums and bone supporting your teeth. Left untreated, these conditions can lead to tooth mobility, gum recession, and even tooth loss. Our board-certified periodontist, Dr. Toscano, provides comprehensive care—from early-stage gingivitis to advanced periodontitis—and is also highly skilled in placing and maintaining dental implants and performing soft tissue grafting and bone regeneration procedures.
Do You Need to See a Periodontist?
You may need periodontal treatment if you experience any of the following:
-
Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing
-
Red, swollen, or tender gums
-
Receding gums or teeth that appear longer than before
-
Persistent bad breath or bad taste in your mouth
-
Loose or shifting teeth
-
Visible pockets between your gums and teeth
Gum disease is often silent—most people don’t realize there’s a problem until it becomes severe. Early detection is key to preserving your smile and preventing tooth loss.
