Epidemiologic studies find the rate of periodontal disease in the U.S. to be of sufficient significance that periodontal therapy should not be placed uniquely in the domain of the specialist. It is advisable that periodontal record-keeping and treatment, particularly with nonsurgical techniques including scaling and root planing and subantimicrobial and antimicrobial therapy, become part of the daily routine in the general practitioner's office.
流行病学研究发现，美国牙周病的发病率具有足够的显著性，以至于牙周治疗不应仅局限于专科医生的领域。建议牙周病的记录和治疗，特别是采用包括龈上洁治、根面平整以及非抗菌和抗菌治疗等非手术技术的治疗，应成为全科医生日常工作的一部分。
