What is a Periodontist? A Periodontist is a dental professional who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, also referred to as gum disease. A Periodontist focuses on the areas of the mouth surrounding the teeth, including the gums, bones, and connective tissues. Periodontists are top experts in their eld and must complete a minimum of three years of dental school followed by a minimum of three years of specialized training in periodontics before treating patients.

Matching good oral hygiene habits with healthy food choices can help reinforce your gum health. Here are 5 foods for healthy teeth, gums, and bodies to consider adding to your diet. High-fiber foods, big leafy greens, and dairy! Potatoes Apples ... Milk Blueberries Spinach Foods to avoid: Sticky, high-sugar foods like candy, ice-cream, chips, and mints Acidic and/or high-sugar drinks like soda, energy drinks, and juices.

Gum disease and tooth decay affect your overall health. 1 Floss at least once a day to help remove the plaque and food that’s beyond your toothbrush’s reach. 2 Brush your teeth twice a day and don’t forget to scrub your tongue since it can harbor bacteria. 3 Choose a toothpaste that contains fluoride and has the ADA seal of acceptance. 4 Therapeutic mouthwash can help reduce plaque, prevent or reduce gingivitis, and/or reduce the speed tartar develops. ... 5 Smoking is strongly associated with the onset of gum disease and since it weakens your immune system, makes it harder to fight off gum infection. 6 Your dentist can detect early gum disease symptoms and treat them before it becomes more serious, plus, professional cleanings are the only way to remove tartar.

Sports help kids stay healthy, and mouth guards help smiles stay healthy. Mouthguards are vital for lessening the impact to the face or mouth and reducing the risk of broken teeth. When you consider that children between the ages of 5 and 14 account for almost 40% of all sports-related injuries, we can easily see why taking every precaution, especially wearing mouth guards, is so important. If you’re interested in a mouthguard for your child or yourself, please contact us today. #NYSD
