| | Allen Lea: Periodontist/Professor of Dentistry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) |
 | | Periodontics is a specialty of dentistry which encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of the supporting and surrounding tissues (i.e., bone and "gum" tissue) of teeth and their substitutes (i.e., dental implants) and the maintenance of health, function, and aesthetics of those structures and tissues. |
 | | There will be a shortage of dentists and periodontists in the years to come. |
 | | It is also very rewarding to catch a medical condition such as high blood pressure, pemphigus vulgaries, cancer or other pathology early, and make the referral to the patients' physician to save their lives. |
