Visit Geaux-. Our website was developed with the needs of the busy periodontist in mind. The site features a board re-certification module which will save the busy periodontist many hours by not having to find the ABP's reading references on their own.

Contributions to our LSU Health Foundation Perio Research and Education Fund go directly toward activities supporting our resident education, such as attending The AAP and The Southwest Society of Periodontists Annual Meeting for third year students and funding their research. Contributions to The Perio Support Fund are unrestricted and help the Department Chairman take care of immediate needs for the whole department. Naturally, we appreciate all of our donors. We would like to recognize the following individuals for their exceptionally high level of support.

At that time it will spin off regular proceeds to support resident education. We are only $30K short of the match level due to your prior generous contributions. Please keep this goal in mind. As always, we deeply appreciate and need your continued support! To contribute, click here.
