Periodontics

What is Periodontics?

A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants. If your gums have been hurting, bleeding, are inflamed, etc., it’s time to call Putnam Bright Smile Dentistry. Your teeth need healthy gums to nourish them and protect them. 


Unfortunately, millions of people in the United States are unaware that they have gum disease. And if left untreated, you can have tooth loss without knowing why.
