Before people with gum disease had 2 choices:

1. Have their gums cut and stitched up in surgery
2. Lose their teeth!

There is hope and I am here to help you find the facts…so that you can treat your gum disease without the scalpel, without sewing, without all the gum recession, root exposure and pain that comes with conventional “cut and stitch” gum surgery.

But you do not want your gums cut either. That is why I am on a mission to get this message out to others, and tell the world about what is available to them. YES, you can have your cake and eat it too. You can treat gum disease and avoid “cut and sew” gum surgery.

It has been reported that 10 to 15% of Americans battle periodontitis as some point in their adult life. As these numbers grow dental practitioners agree that new measures need to be implemented to more effectively treat and help prevent Long Island gum disease.

To begin Periodontists began to look closer at gum disease and the factors surrounding various cases that came through their offices. Factors considered included:

1.       Risk Factors: Patients who smoke and drink excessive alcohol, have a poor daily diet, and have weak oral hygiene routines are at a greater risk for developing gum disease.

2.       Causes: It has long been understood that gum disease develops after plaque builds up on the teeth, resulting in pockets on the gum line where bacteria can invade.

3.       Inhibitors to treatment: One of the biggest inhibitors practitioners face is inflammation. Not only has inflammation associated with gum disease has been linked to several systemic diseases and research is finding that it complicates treatment plans if not brought under control.

A Close Look at Inflammation

Perhaps one of the largest factors that stand out is inflammation and the overall impact it has on oral health and overall health. Inflammation has long been linked to systemic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and arthritis. Research has shown that inflammation of the oral tissue is the leading cause for damage to teeth and gums as well as complicate treatment success.

At a glance inflammation presents as redness and swelling. But inside the body inflammation takes on an entirely different appearance called free-radicals. Well sort of. Medically inflammation is the direct result of an oxidative stress in the body. Oxidative stress occurs when your body is off balance and is over run by free radicals. The proven method for reducing these free-radicals is through the use of antioxidants.

Given the awareness that antioxidants will naturally reduce free-radicals in the body it’s clear that they will lead to the reduction of inflammation. So Periodontists decided to evaluate the role of antioxidants on the treatment of gum disease and found great results.

When antioxidants were used in correlation with antibiotics to eliminate infection, treatment to destroy active bacteria and adjustments at home with your oral hygiene the success rate of eliminating gum disease became a complete approach with satisfying results.

If you’ve reached a moment in your life where you need to decide on a tooth replacement option you may be unsure of what your options actually are. After all, who spends a lot of time thinking about how to replace their teeth? The good news is you don’t have to settle for dentures anymore. In fact choosing dental implants on Long Island is a realistic expectation for everyone!

With continued advancements in dental technology procedures like implants are offered to a larger group of patients than they have ever been offered to before. If you need to replace one tooth implants offer a solution that wont’ intrude on neighboring teeth. If you are missing multiple teeth implants give you confidence in knowing your partials or dentures won’t slip when you eat, talk or laugh.

In fact implants are the preferred replacement option for:

• Replacing one or more teeth without
• Supporting a bridge
• Removing the need for a removable partial denture
• Providing support for a full denture

Types of Dental Implants and How they Work

There are two types of implants available;

1.       Endosteal or in the bone implants

2.       Subperiosteal or on the bone.

Endosteal is the most commonly used implant and are surgically placed into the jawbone. The implant is then used to hold prosthetic teeth and is often used as an alternative for patients with bridges or removable dentures.

Subperiosteal are placed on top of the jaw with metal posts protruding through the gum to hold prosthesis. These are ideal for patients with minimal bone height who are unable to wear conventional dentures.

Why You Should Choose Implants

Perhaps one of the most referenced reasons for choosing implants is esthetic reasons. Implants secure in place and look more natural in your mouth than removal partials or dentures.  When you smile your implants are matched so perfectly that no one will even notice which teeth are not your natural teeth.

Next in line is the tooth-saving quality of implants. Being secured directly in the bone implants are not dependent on adjacent teeth, preserving the long-term health of natural teeth. Additionally the implant serves as a preservative in the jawbone in the same manner as your tooth root would and prevents the breakdown of bone tissue.

Beyond appearance and tooth-saving abilities is the reliability the actual implant. The success and fail rate of implants is highly predictable and considered an excellent option for tooth replacement. You’ll have more confidence when eating, talking and laughing with your friends knowing your replacement option is secure and not going anywhere.

Are Implants Right for You

As implant dentistry continues to improve more and more patients are considered good candidates for implants. In years past patients had to naturally have ideal bone health among other factors. Now procedures like bone grafts and soft tissue grafts help those with less than ideal tissue improve their chances of success.

Everyone can tell you the risks of tooth decay and gum disease if they ignore proper oral hygiene practices. From as early as our toddler years we’ve heard from parents, teachers, doctors and dentists how important it was for our smile to maintain good oral hygiene. But many of us will recall a warning of oral health and increased risks of pneumonia.

Periodontists on Long Island disclose that recent studies not only link oral bacteria associated with gum disease to diabetes, kidney disease and heart disease but also show a direct link the development of pneumonia.

A study at Yale University School of Medicine noted a change in mouth bacteria of hospital patients preceding the development of pneumonia. What this tells doctors and dental practitioners is that the state of their patient’s mouths could prove to be a risk factor for pneumonia and other lung disease.

Healthy Mouth Healthy Lungs

This information couldn’t come at a better time than now. With the cold months of winter the number of patients presenting with respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia are always at an undesired high. The use of vaccines and education has long been the medical field’s efforts to reduce risks of infection. Now they happily add oral hygiene to their arsenal.

Maintaining good oral hygiene can be as simple as:

• Brushing twice a day for a full two minutes using fluoride toothpaste
• Flossing at least once a day to remove food from between your teeth
• Cut back on sugary and acidic foods and drinks
• See your dentist every 6 months for a regular check up and professional cleaning

While oral hygiene alone may not guarantee you’ll remain free of respiratory disease it’s certainly worth your efforts to give that added step in prevention.

If you would like to consult with a Periodontist on Long Island to discuss the health of your teeth and gums contact Dr. Scharf (631) 661-6633 or visit him on the web at http://drscharf.com.

No one wants to consider they might be harboring a disease that they are completely unaware of. The harsh reality is many Americans are doing just that. In fact gum disease is so sneaky that generally speaking we aren’t even aware that some of the occurrences we notice in our mouths are a result of early gum disease.

But with a little effort on your part you can educate yourself on warning signs that are telling you to contact a Long Island Periodontist. Early signs are so easy to see that you can even teach your children to be ahead of the game of oral health too.

How to Recognize Gum Disease – What to Look for

When completing your daily oral care of brushing and flossing it’s important to observe your mouth for any unusual changes that may be your mouth telling you it’s in trouble. Things you want to look for include:

• Increased redness around the gum line and along the tooth root
• Tenderness to the touch
• Frequent bleeding when brushing, flossing or eating
• Persistent bad breath that won’t go away even with the most thorough routines
• A separation of the teeth or a change in the way your dentures fit in your mouth
• If it appears that your gums are “pulling” away from your teeth
• Loose or missing teeth

It’s that simple to stay ahead of gum disease. Watch daily for these signs, make notes if you need to and call your dental practitioner, or preferably a Periodontist right away.

Your First Appointment

It’s best to see a Periodontist when evaluating signs of gum disease since they are licensed in the early diagnosis and treatment of gum infections.  At your first appointment you will have a detailed oral exam, an oral x-ray and complete a patient history. Your practitioner will assess the extent of infection and help to devise a treatment plan that is the most effective for your situation.

Options to Reverse the Damage

If it is discovered that the bacteria have already resulted in damage to your gums and bone there are options available to help reverse that damage.

1.       Regenerative Gum Surgery: This surgery involves folding back the gum tissue at the infection site and cleaning out all the bacteria. He can then add a tissue stimulating protein that actually kick starts your body into growing new tissue and healing itself. If the infection has spread to the bone your practitioner can add a bone graft to help restore bone density to the jaw as well.

2.       Hyaluronic Acid: This is a regenerative gel that has shown restorative success in several studies. These studies found that Hyaluronic acid can increase blood supply, reduce inflammation and boost tissue regeneration.

By monitoring your mouth daily and setting an appointment to see a Periodontist as soon as you notice any early warning signs you’ll be equipped to defeat gum disease before it’s a problem. But you can be confident knowing there are options to help restore any damage that may be present if gum disease snuck up on you.
