On behalf of the Periodontics and Community Dentistry Department (PCS), I would like to welcome you to our website.  Our primary goal is to treat periodontal disease and to place and maintain dental implants.  We serve to provide culturally sensitive community oral health care, preventive education, and professional training.  We are committed to educating our students at all levels to become highly competent, ethical, and compassionate oral health care providers for diverse population and practice settings, with a focus on behavioral sciences, professionalism, ethics, cultural awareness, and community dentistry.   We hold ourselves to the highest standard of excellence and ensure that the needs of our students and patients always come first.  We continually update ourselves regarding the best and most current materials and technology available in periodontics. The PCS Department is dedicated to excellence in education, patient care, service, and research.  Our faculty are passionate about developing the dental student who will employ knowledge and technology characterized by compassion, leadership, professionalism, creativity, and service.
