Now we have new recommendations - when your child’s first tooth appears or no later than your child’s first birthday, they should see the dentist; basically, age one at the latest.” Check out our #blog “5 Tips for Healthy Little Smiles from a Pediatric Dentist” for more: https://sm-il.es/3bxLV9B

What is a Periodontist?
A Periodontist is a dental professional who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, also referred to as gum disease. A Periodontist focuses on the areas of the mouth surrounding the teeth, including the gums, bones, and connective tissues.
Periodontists are top experts in their field and must complete a minimum of three years of dental school followed by a minimum of three years of specialized training in periodontics before treating patients.
