✅What is the difference between a dentist WITHOUT a specialty and a Specialist – Periodontist? 🦷🤷🏻‍♀️🤔

Periodontists are dentists who have specialized for another 3 years after 6 years of training as a dentist and have a specialty in Periodontology to learn the latest techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease. 🦷
Пловдив ️In Plovdiv there are only 9 specialists Periodontists. 😲
❇️The dentist cleans the tartar "above the gums - on the visible part of your teeth". ❇️But the problem of removing tartar, reducing plaque under the gums and stabilizing the bone that holds your teeth is the work of a pediatrician.
The periodontist performs surgical procedures to preserve your teeth and stabilize them. Performs plastic microsurgery of the gums to improve health and aesthetics; heals the "recession" (recession) of your gums; puts a bone to close your pockets and stop shaking your teeth. Sometimes it eliminates bone, smoothes where necessary. ❇️In addition to improving aesthetics and function, it makes easily accessible places that are difficult to clean or unable to reach.
❇️The important difference is that all Periodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are licensed Periodontists. If the patient has periodontal disease, which can NOT be eliminated only by cleaning tartar, the general dentist is obliged to refer him to a periodontist. In addition, the Periodontist has a Diploma in Specialty, while a Dental Medical Certificate (s) for the course (s).
