What is a Periodontist
To become a specialist in the field of Periodontics, requires extensive training beyond dental school as well as meeting strict licensing requirements by the state. After meeting strict academic requirements, a periodontist can be accepted as a member of the American Academy of Periodontology, the organization that sets the standards for periodontics in this country.
