Periodontist

A periodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease. They are experts in maintaining the health of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth, such as the jawbone. Periodontists also perform procedures like scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline, as well as surgical treatments like gum grafts and dental implants. By working closely with patients to improve their oral health, periodontists play a crucial role in helping individuals achieve a healthy and beautiful smile.
