The American Academy of Periodontology has installed Kristi Soileau, DDS, as its new president.
Dr. Soileau is a private practice periodontist in New Orleans. She has experience in clinical care and dental education, according to a Nov. 10 news release from the American Academy of Periodontology.
In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Soileau is a part-time clinical associate professor in the Periodontal Postdoctoral Program at the LSU School of Dentistry.
Dr. Soileau has previously served as president of the Southwest Society of Periodontists.
“Giving back has long been central to my work, from volunteering as a dentist for Notre Dame Hospice to spending decades in nursing home dentistry,” Dr. Soileau said in the release. “Throughout my career, I have encouraged colleagues to bring that commitment to their own communities. As AAP president, I plan to bring that same dedication and energy to my term.”
