Periodontist
Duties and responsibilities: A periodontist is a dentist who
specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease,
and in the placement of dental implants. Periodontists are also experts in the
treatment of oral inflammation. Periodontists receive extensive training in
these areas, including three additional years of education beyond dental
school. They are familiar with the latest techniques for diagnosing and
treating periodontal disease, and are also trained in performing cosmetic
periodontal procedures.
Education: These specialists are very well trained. Not only do
they have the same bachelors and dental school degrees as your dentist, they
have three additional years of school. Most earn a Ph.D. In order to consider
becoming a periodontist, you want to begin your foundation in high school. Be
sure to take as many high level science and math courses as you possibly can.
Maintain a high GPA and do well on the SAT.
Do you think you would like to be one?
No because this job doesn’t interest
me.
