About NOLA Periodontics
Our Values
Community
When I opened NOLA Periodontics in 2014, I was very clear about my vision for this office. I wanted to create a relaxed, fun, and safe space for people to save their teeth and achieve the smile they have always wanted. I think we do a great job of accomplishing that for our patients who know that they are part of the NOLA Periodontics family when they arrive at our office.

About Dr. B
After everyone meets me, they want to know my story. I was born in Kansas City, MO and at the age of 12, we moved to St. Louis, MO. When I first visited New Orleans at the age of 14, I fell in love. I graduated from Xavier in New Orleans and attended Meharry Medical College, just like my father who is also a Periodontist. I completed my Periodontal residency at The University of Tennessee and opened my first private practice in Atlanta, GA in 2009.
After visiting New Orleans in 2010, I knew I had to move back. I fully relocated in 2012 and opened NOLA Periodontics in 2014. Moving back to New Orleans was one of the best decisions I have ever made. New Orleans has always felt like home and now I am proud to call it that.

Periodontal Disease Doesn't Hurt
Transcript from Video of the Week:
​
"The problem with Periodontal Disease is it doesn't hurt. Most people go to the dentist, I'm sorry to say, but when they are in pain. Alot of times it requires you to have a really good Dentist who’s going to be diligent and not just keep sending you for cleanings, knowing you're still having these issues.
I always tell patients if that's the case, and they feel like they're being pushed through an office without really someone taking a look at their periodontal health. Listen to the numbers when they're being probed; because if you're seeing a Hygienist at a General Dentist office, they should still be probing you. If you have areas that are fives and above, ask about them. Sometimes you can ask to see a periodontist.
Another time, I would say for you to go on your own is if you're (1) missing teeth and you want implants placed or (2) if you're having areas where you have recession. What that means is that if you look at pull your lip down or your lip up where you are having sensitivity, especially around the canine areas, you'll see more of your root exposed than your actual tooth. Go see a Periodontist for that because we can replace that tissue."
