Periodontist. A periodontist is a dentist that specializes in diseases of the gums and other structure surrounding the teeth. Periodontists need additional educational credentials to perform duties as this specialist. A periodontist diagnoses, prevents and treats gum disease. These specialty dentists work directly with patients. Periodontists work to keep the patient’s gums healthy, performing treatment when necessary.
