Ray C. Williams, D.M.D. Ray C. Williams, D.M.D.

Dr. Williams, an internationally recognized authority on dentistry, lectures around the world on the exciting advances in dentistry and dental medicine. Professor and chair of the Department of Periodontology, Williams is also chair of the Advisory Board of the Journal of Periodontology and is on the editorial board of five other journals.
