Gum Disease Treatment at New York Dental Studio

While many people realize that taking care of their teeth is necessary for a good oral hygiene routine, they can often forget or neglect their gums, which are an essential part of maintaining oral health. To stay in peak condition, your gums require periodontal cleanings and early treatment if disease does develop, and with Dr. Brandon Huang, patients in New York, NY can be sure that both their gums and teeth will be well cared for.

Since periodontal disease is responsible for 75 percent of all adult tooth loss cases in the United States, it is vital to check for and treat periodontal issues when they first arise. Periodontal disease develops due to plaque build-up. As it accumulates on teeth, bacteria is able to thrive, collecting around the tooth and attacking the soft tissue. In its early stages, this disease is called gingivitis, and it can cause swollen or tender gums that bleed after regular brushing and flossing. If left untreated, gingivitis can become periodontis, a much more severe gum infection that causes inflammation and damages the soft tissue and bone supporting the tooth. If periodontis is not treated, it can cause tooth loss and even a loss of bone mass in your jaw.

It is important to prevent periodontal health or catch it in its early stages, and Dr. Huang is extremely knowledgeable and experienced with helping patients maintain healthy smiles. He will work closely with you to ensure that you maintain optimal oral health

The state of your gums affects the health of your entire body, and our office works hard to make sure you receive the dental care you need. Call (212) 588-1809 to schedule an appointment at New York Dental Studio. For more information, please visit www.newyorkdentalstudio.com.  

Arestin

Fighting the advanced form of gum disease, called periodontal disease, can be difficult when patients have a lot of bacteria lying underneath their gums. This bacteria builds and can infect the sensitive gum tissue.

 

A common procedure performed here at the New York Dental Studio for this plaque beneath the gumline is root scaling and planing, but the infection may return without antibiotics. That is why we use Arestin, a strong type of antibiotic that battles infection in the pockets of the gums.

 

The basic procedure for Arestin is as follows:

1. Root scaling and planing is performed first, which removes bacteria and plaque from below the gumline.

2. The Arestin antibiotic is then applied into the pockets of the gums where they are infected.

3.Arestin starts working quickly and continues fighting off infection for the next 30 days.

 

Arestin comes in a powder form, making it easy for our dentist Dr. Brandon Huang to apply it to the pockets of the gums after completing root scaling and planing. It keeps the infection from spreading and prevents it from coming back.
