Bergen County Residents Have Found Comfort and Help for Periodontal (Gum) Disease from Their Local Dentist

BOGOTA, NJ, December 16, 2010 (Press-News.org) Not many people are aware of how serious periodontal disease can be. Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissue that supports your teeth. It attacks just below the gum; this causes the supporting tissues to break down. When the tissues are damaged it creates a deeper pocket around the tooth. Keep in mind that periodontal disease is not reversible but can be controlled with the proper maintenance. This is why it is very important to focus on healthy dental habits; because it is easier to prevent gum disease than to live with it. Dr. Sherzoy strongly believes that being treated at once for bleeding gum disease is a smart way to prevent an unhealthy smile.

The American Academy of Periodontology, explains several theories that link periodontal disease and heart disease. One theory is that oral bacteria can affect the heart when it enters the blood stream, attaching to fatty plaques in the coronary arteries (heart blood vessels) and contributing to clot formation. Blood clots can get in the way of normal blood flow, restricting the amount of nutrients and oxygen required for the heart to function properly. This is why people must take their dental hygiene very serious, because it can end up being fatal.

There is now new evidence that besides smoking, alcohol use and drug use during pregnancy can cause low birth weight, but also periodontal disease is becoming a new risk factor. More research is needed to confirm how periodontal disease may affect pregnancy outcomes, but it appears periodontal disease increases levels of biological fluid that induces labor. Dr. Sherzoy agrees, "As gum disease progress, your gums being to pull away from your teeth creating pockets caused by the plaque and tartar. Bacteria grow in these pockets, preventing your gums from healing, and making the problem worst. "There is no way for you to clean these pockets at home. However, at Bogota Dental Center we can safely remove the bacteria and allow your gums to heal again. If periodontal (gum) disease is left untreated, it will begin to destroy the tissue and even your jawbone.
