PRLog -- Your family dentist is trained to provide comprehensive oral health care, but sometimes a dental concern calls for the expertise of a specialist. Dr. Farnaz Falaki of Brentwood Dental Art explains how to know if you or a family member needs to visit an endodontist, orthodontist, periodontist, or oral surgeon.
"
Brentwood dentistry (https://brentwooddentalart.com/) can treat most dental problems, but certain issues require specialized skills and experience,"
says Dr. Falaki. "Seeing a specialist when appropriate ensures precise treatment and the best possible outcome."
According to Dr. Falaki, signs you may need a specialist include:
- Tooth pain or sensitivity that persists after initial treatment by your dentist. An endodontist can perform a root canal if needed.
- Misaligned teeth or bite issues. An orthodontist can create custom braces or Invisalign to straighten your smile.
- Receding gums, persistent bad breath, or loose teeth. A periodontist can treat gum disease and restore healthy gums.
- Extensive tooth damage from injury or decay. An oral surgeon can perform tooth extractions or implants.
- Jaw pain, clicking, or locking up. An oral surgeon can treat TMJ and other joint issues.
- Pediatric dental concerns like cleft palate. A pediatric dentistry specialist has experience treating children.
"Don't hesitate to ask your general
dentist near you for a referral to a specialist if they suspect you need more advanced treatment," advises Dr. Falaki. "Our team at Brentwood Dental Art partners closely with dental specialists to ensure our patients get well-coordinated care."
