Periodontists are dentists who receive special training to focus on treating gum disease and installing implants. In addition, they have to undergo additional training after earning a general dentistry degree. This is because they have to learn how to properly treat gums and install dental implants and often only see patients with severe issues.

Thanks for stopping by our blog. If you’re looking for more information about Yonge Eglinton Periodontics, you’ve come to the right place. 

For years, as dentists, we looked in our patients' mouths, commenting on the amount of “tartar buildup” and bleeding, and telling them to brush and floss more often. As they would stand up, we would say, “See you in six (or three months” for your next cleaning. At times we probably made our patients feel bad. “But, Doc, I don’t get it. I brush twice a day, floss almost every day, and you are still telling me that my gums are not healthy.”

While brushing and flossing frequency are important as well as regular professional cleaning, we now know that there are so many issues at play in determining the extent, severity, and outcomes of treatment, for each individual patient.

My name is Dr. Andrew Kay, and I am the owner of Yonge Eglinton Periodontics, which was founded in 2004.

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new website!
