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
This is a community health center. Federal rules require it to offer discounts based on income and household size, and it cannot turn you away because you cannot pay. How sliding-scale fees work at community health centers
