Periodontists will make a broad range of treatment options available to the patient. This may include a procedure by which the infected surface of the root is cleaned or a procedure by which removes the affected tissue is removed. A Periodontist can if appropriate carry out surgical procedures in case the level of gum disease is extremely severe.
