A Periodontist is a dentist with specialised postgraduate training in conditions affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Dr. Prerana G.K., who holds an MDS in Periodontology, provides periodontal care that includes scaling and polishing, gum treatment, and flap surgery when clinically appropriate. Periodontal treatment aims to control gum disease, maintain healthy supporting tissues, and help protect natural teeth as part of long-term oral healthcare.
