About gum treatment

A periodontist treats gum disease and the bone that holds teeth in place, from deep cleanings to gum surgery and implants. Many patients are referred by a general dentist after a check-up finds bone loss.

Paying for a visit

• Does Thomas Wanat see adults, and do you take my Medicaid plan?

• What income documents should I bring to get the sliding-fee discount?
