Yes, a periodontist is an actual doctor. They are dental specialists who have completed a dental degree (DDS or DMD) followed by additional training in periodontology, focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease and related conditions. Periodontists are also qualified to perform surgical procedures related to the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.
