The Periodontist Dental Centre (PDC) was established after identifying the need for specialist dental care for patients with periodontal (gum) disease and those needing replacement of teeth using dental implants. Over 80% of our population has one form or another of gum disease. Over 10% of the people have severe form of periodontal disease that results to tooth loss. There are few periodontal specialists in the country numbering less than ten (10) for a population of over 40 million.
