Hello Friends,

A Periodontist is an individual that not only successfully completes
dental school, but one that uniquely specializes in diseases that
affect the gums and teeth by completing three more years of
specialized schooling. Capable of treating periodontal disease in both
its early and progressive stages, a periodontist can help a patient
achieve the maximum benefits associated with good dental health and
proper periodontal treatment. Furthermore, we at D & D Periodontal
Associates, P.C. are Diplomates of the American Board of
Periodonotology, which means that additional advanced study and
requirements were met to become board certified periodontists.

Any association with our group's other self-promoter - David
DiBennedetto (sic)? I would hope that you are only a mis-guided
employee of this group practice and not one of the "Diplomates".

PERI from the word PERImeter meaning around.
dont means tooth.
tist means somebody that studies or is an expert or specialist in the
field.

So PERIODONTIST is a dentist who has specialized in the field of the
structures that are around the tooth. which are the bone and gums.
So this doctor is a gum specialist/surgeon.
