What is a Periodontist?

A dentist who helps prevent periodontal disease, otherwise known as gum disease, is a periodontist. The gum diseases we deal with on a regular basis include gingivitis, periodontitis, and gingival recession. This is one of the specialty areas of dentistry. Periodontal disease is one of the more common issues patients deal with. We utilize the latest procedures to treat periodontal disease, including the insertion of dental implants.
