What is paryodontist?

Periodontists are dentists who specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, which is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Periodontists also provide surgical and non-surgical treatments to restore the health of the gums and supporting tissues.

Periodontists are trained in the latest techniques and technologies for diagnosing and treating periodontal disease, including:

* Scaling and root planing, which is a non-surgical procedure to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth and below the gum line

* Laser therapy, which is used to kill bacteria and disinfect the periodontal pockets

* Bone grafting, which is used to replace lost bone tissue and support the teeth

* Gum grafting, which is used to replace lost gum tissue and improve the appearance of the smile

Periodontists work closely with other dental professionals, such as dentists, hygienists, and endodontists, to provide comprehensive care for patients with periodontal disease.
