Dr. Ed Farajzadeh specializes in periodontics (gum disease), pediatric dentistry, and oral and maxillofacial surgery and practices in Del Mar, CA and Poway, CA.

"Dr. Ed is a kind, patient and smart dentist. He is actually more than that. His office is very family-like. Edna, who normally works at the front desk, is as sweet as one can be in her profession. Dr. Ed is very capable, he doesn't try to upsell you. I truly found a gem. I hesitated to write this for selfish reasons. Getting an appointment is my only complaint because he is THAT GOOD. He has multiple locations. Oh, his x-ray tech is also very kind and patient. All around, for a person who is afraid of dentists, Dr. Ed and his staff make it as pleasant as possible!"

What is Periodontics?

Periodontics is a dental specialty that provides care for gums and the bone that surrounds teeth. Periodontists treat gum disease, place dental implants, and treat wounds or inflammation inside the mouth.

The most common condition managed by periodontists is gum disease. Gum disease happens when plaque and bacteria build up on teeth and reach below the gumline, causing inflammation and damaging gum tissue. The body's own immune response to gum infection may also grow severe enough to damage gums and teeth. Mild gum disease (or gingivitis) may not have any symptoms. However, if the infection is allowed to build, symptoms such as pain, bleeding, bad breath, and tooth loss may occur. Dentists can usually diagnose and treat mild gum disease. In severe cases or those with medical complications, a periodontist is more appropriate for managing the infection.

A partial list of the treatments and procedures that a periodontist may perform includes:

Root scaling and planing, or cleaning the lower surface of the tooth
Debridement, or removal of diseased gum tissue
Laser treatments to remove plaque and gum tissue
Surgery, including gum grafting or bone grafting
Placement of dental implants, including single teeth, crowns, and bridges
Maintenance and removal of dental implants

When gum infection threatens your oral health, a periodontist works to heal your gums and save your teeth.
