Good oral hygiene puts individuals on a direct path to preventing gum disease and tooth decay. By practicing good techniques patients can reduce risks of inflammation of the gums, cavities in the teeth and deterioration overall. While all these practices traditionally satisfy the needs of the Periodontist on Long Island new researcher shows evidence that your regular doctors will be pleased as well.

Research has long suggested a link between gum disease and chronic health issues such as heart disease, stroke and even diabetes but why the link existed seemed to elude many researchers. Now, more targeted studies have led to a new theory that it is the inflammation that may link the mouth and body.

To better understand let’s take a closer look at inflammation. The role of inflammation is to aid the body in the healing process. It is the body’s instinctive reaction to fight off infection, guard against injury, or shield against irritation. Unfortunately, over time this once beneficial inflammation can become harmful and lead to dysfunction of the infected tissue. This in turn leads to more severe health complications.

Inflammation in the mouth appears to be no different than inflammation in other areas of the body. For so long dental practitioners believed that gum disease was solely the result of a bacterial infection caused by a build-up of plaque between teeth and under the gums. Researchers now suspect that the more severe symptoms like swollen and bleeding gums, recession around the gum line and bone deterioration are more likely caused by chronic inflammatory response to the bacterial infection.

Periodontists have used this research data to hypothesize that it is this inflammatory response in the mouth that is the cause behind the periodontal-systemic health link. The reason for this theory is because many of the diseases associated with periodontal disease are also systemic inflammatory disorders. Some of these diseases include cardiovascular disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease and certain forms of cancer.

Protecting Your Health through Oral Hygiene

So what can you do to keep your body healthy? For starters consider having a detailed periodontal exam completed so you can have a base point and know where you stand in terms of the current health of your teeth and gums. Then discuss what oral hygiene regimen is best for your situation. In the meantime here are a few general practices you can take while waiting for your evaluation:

• Brush and floss twice daily
• Ensure you are brushing the complete surface of your teeth. On average it should take roughly 2 minutes to complete brushing when done properly
• Ensure flossing all surfaces of each tooth using the ‘c’ shape around each side of the tooth
• Observe your mouth daily for unusual changes and have anything new looked at immediately

When it comes to the health of your gums you’re not only saving your teeth, you could be saving yourself a long life of more serious health complications. Take charge of your oral health today! People looking for a Periodontist on Long Island should contact Dr. Scharf at (631) 661-6633 or visit him on the web at http://drscharf.com. He can treat gum disease with a laser rather than a scalpel.

Let’s face it, when our minds are bogged down with the worries of today, losing sleep and force feeding ourselves, simple tasks like brushing and flossing becomes daunting and undesirable. Couple that with prolonged periods of stress induced cortisol levels, a trip to a Long Island Periodontist looks more and more inevitable.

It isn’t just a decline in brushing and flossing that increase your risk for gum disease. According to the President of the American Academy of Periodontology stress can make an individual more susceptible to harmful habits that negatively impact oral health such as tobacco and alcohol. These lifestyle choices are known risk factors for gum disease and when under excess stress individuals are more likely to abuse them.

If anyone ever doubted this to be fact or myth a study published in the February 2009 Journal of Periodontology confirmed that stress may interfere with oral hygiene with 56% of participants self-reporting personally neglecting their oral hygiene when experiencing prolonged stress levels.

Additionally the study reported that chronic stress was associated with higher and more prolonged levels of cortisol. Combine this data with previous research that showed increased amounts of cortisol in the bloodstream can lead to a more destructive form of periodontal disease and it becomes easy to understand how excessive stress levels can lead you down a rapid path towards advanced gum disease.

Lower Your Stress and Save Your Gums

So if excessive stress is taunting your life what can you do to reduce it? To start consider finding a healthy way to relieve your stress such as;

• Regular exercise
• Eating a well balanced diet
• Getting adequate sleep

Not only will these simple lifestyle changes reduce your risk for gum disease but they can dramatically improve your overall health as well. In fact a study published in the November 2007 Journal of Periodontology found that by taking these sorts of measures to prevent gum disease you could in fact lower your total health care expenses.

It is for all of these reasons that taking charge of your oral health should be a top priority of everyone. If you are unsure of how to proceed and would like direction in your preventative efforts from a skilled Long Island Periodontist contact Dr. Scharf. He is skilled in early detection and treatment of periodontal disease offering patients and alternative to traditional surgery.

Gum disease isn’t just about your gums anymore. According to a new study published in the Journal of Periodontology there may be a direct link between periodontal disease and prediabetes. With 54 million people in the United States showing signs of prediabetes the link between Long Island gum disease and prediabetes is more than just a little unsettling.

Prediabetes is a condition where your blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Out of the 54 million people with prediabetes the American Diabetes Association estimates that a significant number of them will develop Type 2 diabetes within 10 years.

Controlling both Gum Disease and Prediabetes

The studies found that having periodontal disease can alter your metabolic conditions. This is believed to be what leads to prediabetes and the progression to Type 2 diabetes. This makes having regular periodontal exams a top priority whether or not you have prediabetes!

The best way to learn proper care of your gums is to work closely with a Periodontist. He can thoroughly evaluate the current health of your gums and assist you in developing the right plan of action tailored just for you.

Keeping your gums healthy at home is as simple as following a few practical guidelines:

• Brush at least twice a day
• Include daily flossing after your brush to clean between your teeth and along the gum line
• Keep your regular dental check-ups and cleanings
• Have a regular periodontal evaluation to monitor the health of your gums
• Observe your mouth for any unusual changes to your teeth or gums
• Schedule an appointment with a Periodontist or trained practitioner as soon as possible if you notice any signs of gum disease

Patients who are looking for a Periodontist to help monitor progression of Long Island gum disease should contact Dr. Scharf at (631) 661-6633 or visit him on the web at http://drscharf.com . He can treat gum disease with a laser rather than a scalpel.

Periodontal disease attacks the soft tissue in your mouth affecting millions of Americans daily, often resulting in a need for a Periodontist Long Island. As patients struggle through treatment plans many find themselves thinking how much simpler things would be if they had followed a few preventative measures from the start. Now, thanks to a recent study this just got easier.

The study evaluated 1,775 patients who had 3,694 teeth extracted in an effort to determine commonalities between each patient have lost teeth. What they found was that more teeth per patient were lost as a result of gum disease than any other cause with periodontal disease accounting for the majority of extracted teeth in patients over 35.

Using data they compiled six risk factors that increase your chances for developing gum disease:

1. Age – where the majority of missing teeth in patients over 35 can be attributed to gum disease
2. Gender – with the greater proportion of patients who lost their teeth due to periodontal disease were men
3. Smoking – both current and past smokers accounted for 31 percent
4. Lack of professional maintenance – out of the total number of patients studied 39 percent of them stated that they had never had a periodontal visit
5. Inadequate oral hygiene – out of the patients evaluated only 16 percent reported brushing two or more times daily and 60 percent reported they either never brushed or used a tooth brush irregularly
6. Health factors - diabetes mellitus, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, and anterior tooth type

Regular brushing and flossing may be your most powerful tool in prevention but won’t do the job alone. Keeping your regular dental appointments and adding in a regular periodontal exam will help keep you in the lead of harmful bacteria that causes gum disease. Additionally closely observe your mouth each day for early signs of gum disease including; red or swollen gums, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, and gums pulling away from your teeth.

Prevention is always easier than treatment. Educate yourself on how to best prevent gum disease and then take action immediately. But don’t beat yourself up if you start to notice signs of gum disease. Instead remember early intervention is critical.
