Periodontist

As a periodontist, you'll treat patients who have gum disease and other issues of the gums and bones surrounding the jaw. Your work will be surgical or non-surgical and might include tasks like placing implants, developing treatment plans, and providing preventative care. You will also perform cosmetic procedures, including tissue grafts or reductions to alter the way a person's smile looks. Part of your job will also be to help patients resolve issues like tooth sensitivity.
