“Many a times, I see patients whose teeth could have been salvaged if they had better oral care and dental health education. As a periodontist, I strive to help my patients preserve their teeth for as long as possible with adequate gum treatment and regular maintenance.
There’s nothing more satisfying than to see my patients have a healthy smile and able to maintain their teeth by themselves. To treat our ageing patients more effectively, we need to do more research based on our local population of geriatric patients.”
