Periodontists treat and care for the
foundational structures of the teeth such as the bones and gums. Work may be
surgical or non-surgical and might include tasks like placing implants,
developing treatment plans, and providing preventative care. You may also
perform cosmetic procedures, including tissue grafts or reductions to alter the
way a person's smile looks.
Salary:
$168,000
Education:
Periodontists earn bachelor's degrees in
chemistry, biology or a related topic, then attend a dental school accredited
by the American Dental Association, obtaining either a DDS, a Doctor of Dental
Surgery, or DMD, a Doctor of Dental Medicine, degree. A periodontist then must
complete three years of specialty education at an American Dental
Association-approved graduate/residency program.
