If you're like me and the idea of a periodontist makes you want to sprint in the other direction, let me introduce you to Dr. Lorson--aka, the dental unicorn. As far as "dentist people" go, he's in a league of his own. Calm, gentle, and always smiling, he somehow makes you forget that you're in a chair with your mouth wide open and sharp tools nearby.
Dr. Lorson has this magical ability to put you at ease, even when he's talking about things like "deep cleanings" or "pocket measurements" (which sound way scarier than they are). I don't know how he does it--maybe it's his calm demeanor, maybe it's the fact that he never seems rushed, or maybe he's just a wizard with Novocain.
Honestly, if I had to pick a periodontist to be stranded on a desert island with... well, it'd still probably be someone who could start a fire or catch fish--but Dr. Lorson would be a close second.
Highly recommend. 10/10 gums agree.
