Dental cheat sheet 🦷
General Dentist → cleanings, fillings, exams, and overall dental care.
Periodontist → gum disease treatment, gum health, bone loss, and dental implants.
Oral Surgeon → wisdom teeth removal, extractions, jaw procedures, sedation, and more complex surgical treatment.
Not every dental issue needs the same type of provider, and knowing the difference can make a huge impact on your care.
