Overview of Periodontics
Periodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease and other conditions that affect your gums and supporting bone structure. At Trust Dental Care, our periodontist Dr. Hargis Sam E DDS provides comprehensive periodontal care, offering services such as scaling and root planing, gum grafting, dental implants, and more.
What is a Periodontist?
A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in treating the gums and bone that support your teeth. Unlike general dentists, periodontists have advanced training in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease and other periodontal conditions.
- Oral surgery may be necessary for advanced gum issues that require surgical intervention.
Why choose a periodontist?
Periodontists offer specialized care for conditions like gum disease, bone loss, and receding gums—which if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss.
- For patients needing restorative dentistry to repair damage caused by gum disease, we can offer tailored solutions.

Periodontal disease is an infection of the gums caused by plaque buildup, leading to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss if untreated.
Symptoms include bleeding gums, bad breath, loose teeth, and gum recession. If you experience any of these, it’s time to see a periodontist.
In its early stages, gum disease can be reversed with proper treatment. In advanced cases, periodontal treatments such as surgery may be needed.
