Q: What’s it like to be a periodontist?
A: It has been a very exciting time for our practice, since an FDA cleared Laser Protocol was instituted over seven years ago. The patient experience is positive and with little or no discomfort. In a majority of cases, we are able to avoid traditional surgery. We are treating more patients than ever who would normally have avoided treatment rather than having to go through the older methods of treating periodontal disease.
