Periodontist A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of periodontal disease. In addition to four years of dental school, your periodontist has had extensive training in this specialty. He or she will provide you with treatment that ranges from deep cleaning of teeth and gums to surgical removal of infection to surgery that actually may restore soft tissue and bone damaged by periodontal disease. |
