My dentist treated my gum problem a while back, so yes. I woke up with my pants unbuttoned and my jaw very sore, however.
General dentists can practice periodontics and treat gum disease. Depending on how difficult the case is, the general dentist should refer the patient to a specialist, a periodontist.
