Welcome to My Thoughts on Dental Health

I want to welcome everyone to the first installment of my blog on Dental Health. Let me first give you some background. My name is Robin Henderson and I am a dentist in Oklahoma City who specializes in Periodontics and Dental Implants. Most people don't know what a periodontist is, so the simple explanation is that I am a dental specialist, specializing in the foundation of the mouth, mainly the gums and bones. When people have gum disease, they come to see me.

I've been in practice since 2000 and I basically treat any problem associated with the gums and bones. That means bone rebuilding, implants, gum disease, and a lot of other things. I work very closely with your regular dentist to make sure that your mouth stays as healthy as it can.

I wanted to begin this blog to talk about things in dentistry that I see all the time. I'd like to be able to answer questions when they come up and share some observations that I see on an every day basis. My primary reason for this blog is to be a voice for people, in a non threatening way to get answers to questions. I obviously don't have anything to gain by this except giving you the correct information. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation out there, and i would like to set the record straight.

I hope that this will be helpful for anyone interested.
