FAQs about Periodontics and Gum Care

  • A periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease (periodontal disease) and the placement of dental implants. While general dentists handle a wide range of dental care, periodontists receive additional training in managing complex gum issues and performing advanced procedures related to gum health and bone structure.

  • You should consider seeing a periodontist like Dr. Kohnen if you experience symptoms such as red, swollen, or bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, receding gums, or pain when chewing. These symptoms could indicate gum disease, which requires specialized care.

  • Gum disease begins with plaque buildup on the teeth, which can lead to gingivitis (mild gum inflammation). If untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease that can damage the gums and bone supporting your teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss. Gum disease is also linked to other health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

  • We offer a comprehensive range of periodontal services at our Oakland office, including non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing, surgical procedures such as gum grafting and pocket reduction, and advanced options like dental implants. Dr. Kohnen tailors each treatment plan to address your specific gum health needs.

  • During your first visit with Dr. Kohnen, he will perform a thorough examination of your gums, teeth, and jawbone. This may include X-rays and measurements of the pockets around your teeth. Based on the examination, Dr. Kohnen will discuss your diagnosis and recommend a personalized treatment plan to address your gum health.

  • We prioritize patient comfort in all of our periodontal treatments. Non-surgical procedures like scaling and root planing are typically performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. For surgical treatments, we offer various sedation options to ensure you have a pain-free experience.

  • Preventing gum disease requires maintaining good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and visiting your dentist for routine cleanings. For those who have undergone periodontal treatment, Dr. Kohnen will likely recommend more frequent visits for periodontal maintenance to monitor your gum health and prevent recurrence.

  • By choosing Total Health Dental Care, you're choosing a team led by Dr. Kohnen, a highly skilled periodontist with extensive experience in gum care and dental implants. Our state-of-the-art technology, comprehensive care approach, and dedication to patient-centered treatment ensure that your gum health is in the best possible hands.
