@districtdentalsurgery: Periodontist vs. Dentist- What’s the Difference? What’s a Periodontist? Dr. Raha Yousefi breaks it down. A general dentist focuses on the teeth themselves, like routine cleanings, fillings, and crowns. A periodontist, on the other hand, specializes in the supporting structures of the teeth: the gums, bone, and ligaments. Periodontists treat gum disease, place dental implants, perform gum grafts, and help rebuild bone around the teeth. All periodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are specialists. In short: your dentist keeps your teeth healthy, and your periodontist keeps everything around your teeth healthy. 💪🦷 #fyp #washingtondc #periodontist #drrahayousefi #dentistdc #districtdentalsurgery #dcdentist #dentist #whatisaperiodontist #dentaloffice #dental #dentistsoftiktok
