Periodontist

Periodonists are qualified dentists who focus on the treatment of periodontal disease as well as injuries and diseases affecting the gums and tissues that support our teeth. They perform dental surgery and install restoration devices such as bridges, crowns, and dental implants.

As a Periodonist you could be drinking your morning coffee and reviewing the patient list for the day, conducting an oral exam on a new patient, examining dental x-rays, performing gum restoration surgery, discussing a change to the treatment plan with a long-term patient, writing up correspondence for the laboratory technicians, calling a patient to discuss the results of a diagnostic test, or just having a few moments of self-care between appointments.

To succeed in this occupation you must be committed to academic and technical excellence in dentistry and have outstanding interpersonal and communication skills.
