Periodontal disease causes tooth loss & links to heart disease, diabetes & more. Learn the risks & treatment options. Tinton Falls, NJ periodontist. Consequences of Periodontal Disease Dental Consequences Of Periodontal Disease Tinton Falls, NJ Tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease are the two most common dental problems in the United States. They are also both caused by harmful bacteria in plaque. While tooth decay is problematic in its own right, gum disease can have serious consequences for your oral and overall health. We here at Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry specialize in periodontal maintenance. If you suffer from periodontal disease, we can help stop the spread of infection before it leads to greater complications. If left untreated, periodontal disease can result in the severe consequences listed below. Gum Recession Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue retracts to a lower position on the tooth. This can leave the roots of your teeth exposed, resulting in some secondary issues. Exposed roots can cause severe sensitivity to hot and cold foods and beverages. It can also leave the roots more vulnerable to tooth decay. The leading cause of gum recession is periodontal disease. Mild gum recession may be treated and reversed with improved oral hygiene and a scaling and root planing (deep cleaning). Severe gum recession may require surgical intervention, such as a soft tissue graft. Gum recession should never be ignored because it is usually indicative of a larger problem like periodontal disease. Catching gum recession early can help us prevent other consequences of advanced periodontal disease. Bone Deterioration As periodontal disease progresses from gingivitis to periodontitis, the infection will spread to the gum tissues, connective ligaments, and even the underlying bone. This bone, known as the alveolar ridge, contains the sockets that keep our teeth in their proper position. A dense and rigid jawbone is an important part of maintaining a healthy and beautiful smile. The infection associated with periodontal disease will eventually cause the alveolar ridge to deteriorate. Bone deterioration is a serious problem that can threaten the life of a tooth. A deteriorated jawbone can also lead to a less youthful facial appearance. Luckily, we specialize in bone grafting to help restore a deteriorated jaw. A bone graft is often a necessary part of the dental implant process. During your initial consultation, Jeffrey N Zatzkin, DDS will be able to determine if a bone graft is right for you! Tooth Loss Because periodontal disease affects our supportive tissues, it can eventually cause the teeth to become loose. If left untreated, this deterioration can even result in tooth loss. Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the United States. If you lose a tooth due to periodontal disease, we typically recommend a dental implant. A dental implant is a small titanium screw that we surgically embed into the jawbone. As a periodontist, Jeffrey N Zatzkin, DDS is uniquely qualified to place dental implants. During a brief healing period the implant and your jawbone will fuse, causing the screw to mimic the root component of a prosthetic tooth. For this reason, an implant-supported restoration is the next best thing to a natural tooth. Implants are now the gold standard when it comes to tooth replacements!

Good oral health starts with a good brushing and flossing regimen, yet 20% of Americans admit that they never floss and nearly one out of four people have skipped brushing their teeth two days in a row or more. What Is Periodontal Disease? What Is Periodontal Disease? Tinton Falls, NJ Good oral health starts with a good brushing and flossing regimen, yet 20% of Americans admit that they never floss and nearly one out of four people have skipped brushing their teeth two days in a row or more. With these high levels of dental neglect, it’s no wonder that periodontal disease is on the rise. Fortunately, if caught early, gum disease can be entirely reversed. At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry we know how to both quickly spot the first signs of gum disease and also how to thoroughly treat it, giving you back your healthy and beautiful smile that you can be proud of. What Is Periodontal Disease? Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is an infection in the teeth and gums that arises from poor oral health. When tartar builds up along the gumline, the bacteria in it start to attack the soft tissue in your mouth, making them vulnerable to infection. This can lead to a host of complications, including bleeding when you brush and floss, swollen and puffy gingival tissue, receding gums, and even tooth loss. When periodontal disease is still in its early stages, it is called gingivitis. Gingivitis is diagnosed by inflammation of your gum tissue and is often painless, making it all the more difficult to catch on your own. That’s why regular dental appointments are so vital, giving you a chance to stop this subtle but dangerous disease in its tracks before it can progress and become worse. If your gum disease advances, it becomes a condition known as periodontitis, which can be quite harmful. That means the disease has progressed to your bone tissue, increasing your risk of complications. It is diagnosed by the presence of pockets between your tooth roots and your gum line. Not only can you develop an infection and abscess in your mouth, but periodontitis is also associated with other conditions such as heart attack, stroke, cancer, and even death. Fortunately, gum disease does not automatically mean that you are going to lose your teeth or your life. If spotted early, you can cure it on your own at home with a good oral health routine in place. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day, using a soft-bristled brush, for two minutes per session. You also need to floss at least once a day. Floss after you brush your teeth to avoid pushing bacteria further up under your gums, using an 18-inch length of floss and working a fresh segment of floss all the way over your tooth and under your gums. Antibacterial mouthwash can also be beneficial, but please be aware that it is no replacement for good brushing and flossing. Treatment for advanced periodontal disease does require intervention from us, as it does not go away on its own. We may advise a procedure known as scaling and root planing or, if the disease has progressed severely already, we may have to perform a surgery on the affected teeth, such as a gum graft or root canal. If you suspect that you may be suffering from periodontal disease, or if it has been longer than six months since your last dental appointment, please call our office here at Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry at (732) 747-1766 right away to schedule an appointment for a dental checkup and cleaning and, if necessary, treatment for periodontal disease.

Sleep through dental procedures with oral conscious sedation in Tinton Falls, NJ. Comfortable, anxiety-free care from Dr. Jeffrey Zatzkin. Call today. Oral Conscious Sedation Oral Conscious Sedation Tinton Falls, NJ Have you ever felt bouts of fear run through your body at the mere thought of getting your teeth cleaned? Would you rather stay home and endure intense pain than visit your dentist’s office? Well, you’re not alone. Most people go through the same feelings and prefer avoiding dental treatment completely. However, at Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we make sure to keep you from feeling intense discomfort and pain. Thanks to sedation dentistry, most people can easily get rid of their anxiety associated with invasive as well as non-invasive procedures. Here’s more on the use of oral conscious sedation and its implications on dental procedures. What Is Oral Conscious Sedation? Based on the intensity of your fear, your dental surgeon chooses the appropriate sedation method. Oral sedation can lie anywhere between minimal to moderate, depending on your condition. Your dental surgeon may recommend taking a pill for minimal sedation at least one hour before the procedure. The pill tends to make patients drowsy even though they are still awake. In order to induce moderate sedation, they may even administer a slightly larger dose. This type of anesthesia is usually associated with sedation dentistry as some people also become groggy and fall asleep while they undergo the procedure. However, it isn’t extremely strong, and surgeons can still wake patients up with a gentle shake mid-surgery. The main difference between minimal and moderate sedation is that the patient is still awake but relaxed in minimal sedation. However, in moderate sedation, they may slur their words when speaking and may also have trouble remembering the procedure. Is Sedation Appropriate For You? If you’re someone who undergoes extreme anxiety and fear about visiting the dentist, even for a small procedure, then sedation dentistry is just the right approach for you. It is also appropriate for people with bad gag reflex and a low pain threshold. People who cannot sit still and need a lot of dental work can also benefit from sedation. Sometimes, children can also fall under this category if they refuse to cooperate during a procedure. Since nitrous oxide is generally safe, it can be administered within the recommended dose based on the child’s weight and age. Is Sedation Dentistry Safe? While it is usually safe, there’s still a certain amount of risk involved. People who have obstructive sleep apnea or those who have obesity should undergo consultation before choosing to go ahead with it. This is because they have a greater chance of developing complications from anesthesia. Schedule Your Consultation Today Sedation dentistry can help people immensely, especially when it comes to reducing their anxiety associated with dental procedures. However, understanding the complications and risks involved is also crucial and plays a role in determining the course of the procedure. At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, Jeffrey N Zatzkin, DDS and , who specialize in the field can run you through the procedure and help you deal with fear effectively. Contact us at (732) 747-1766 and schedule your consultation appointment.

Are you missing one or more of your teeth? Alternatively, are your teeth badly damaged and need to be extracted? Missing one or more teeth can have a huge effect on your dental health, not to mention the significant damage it can do to your appearance. Implant Placement Dental Implant Placement For Complete Teeth Restoration Tinton Falls, NJ Are you missing one or more of your teeth? Alternatively, are your teeth badly damaged and need to be extracted? Missing one or more teeth can have a huge effect on your dental health, not to mention the significant damage it can do to your appearance. However, lucky for you, Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry can offer you a perfect solution to your damaged or missing teeth – dental implant placement. With our dental implant solutions, we can help you to regain your full teeth function and give you back your lovely smile. If you are considering this treatment option, below is a look at what happens before, during, and after dental implant placement. Preparation For Dental Implant Placement Dental implant placement is an invasive oral surgery procedure, and thus proper planning and preparation are required before the implants are inserted. The treatment starts with a diagnosis to assess the dental problem and determine if dental implant placement is an ideal treatment. During this stage, we will determine whether other less extensive dental solutions – for example, a root canal can help to save your teeth. If not, we will recommend a dental implant procedure. However, before doing that, we will assess your dental health condition – gum tissue and jawbone structure – to determine if you are an ideal candidate for the procedure. If you are an ideal candidate, we will then proceed to the treatment planning stage, where will determine how many implants are needed, where they will be inserted, and the treatment concept to follow – single implants, multiple implants, all-on-4 implants, or implant supported bridge. Your oral health condition and your preferences will be used in deciding on the proper treatment plan. The Dental Implant Placement Procedure The dental implant surgery will be performed under anesthesia, and will most likely require only a single visit. During the surgery, an incision will be created on the implant site (after sedating you) to create access to the jawbone. The bone will then be drilled to create a small hole for the implant. The implant (a metal post) will be inserted, and then the surgical wound will be closed by stitching the gums. The process will be repeated for other implants until they are all inserted. The surgery can take minutes – for a single implant – or a few hours when inserting more than one implant. Once all the implants have been placed, dental crowns or a dental bridge will be screwed onto the implants – for same day implants. For delayed implants, the implant sites will be allowed to heal before dental crowns can be installed. After Getting Dental Implants Following the oral surgery, you can expect to experience some common surgery side effects such as pain, bleeding, swelling around the wound, and irritation of the gum tissue. During the first few days, the gum tissue will be extremely sensitive, and it is advised not to irritate it by touching, poking, or consuming hot foods and drinks – which can cause damage. During the recovery period, the surgical wound will heal, while at the same time, the jawbone will grow into the dental implants, creating a strong anchor. Once the implants are fully healed, you can be able to enjoy complete oral functionality. Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry helps to replace your teeth using natural prosthetics that restore your tooth's function and facial appearance. This way, you can enjoy various oral functions, while getting a great smile in the process. Call us today at (732) 747-1766 to find out more about dental implant surgery.

Discover the link between periodontal disease & COVID-19 severity. Protect your overall health with expert gum care in Tinton Falls, NJ. Gum Disease & COVID-19 Gum Disease & COVID-19 Tinton Falls, NJ Over the last few decades, there have been many studies on the mouth-body connection. Research has concluded that there is a strong link between oral health problems like gum disease and other illnesses that affect our bodily health. The CDC now reports that 47.2% of adults over the age of 30, and 70.1% of adults 65 or older have periodontal disease. As the novel virus continues to spread day by day, now more than ever before, we need our immune systems working at full strength to prevent contracting a viral infection. At Premier Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, we believe that patient education is the foundation for good oral health. In this case, it can also help you maintain better bodily health too! The following information details the relationship between periodontal (gum) disease and COVID-19. How Untreated Gum Disease Can Significantly Impact Your Ability To Fight COVD-19 Untreated periodontal disease has been definitively shown in numerous studies to weaken the immune system. This in addition to being implicated in the development of heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, Alzheimer’s, and other serious health problems. If you already have gum disease the tissues in your mouth are prone to chronic systemic inflammation. These physiological changes cause malfunctions in the immune system, especially if it's already weakened or dysfunctional due to emotional stress, toxic environmental substances, an unhealthy gut, or a poor diet. Active gum disease will surge as the immune system flounders to deal with a swarm of harmful bacteria in the mouth. Periodontal infection will discharge virulent bacteria and inflammatory ingredients into your bloodstream, upsetting an already spreading systemic inflammation. Untreated Periodontal Disease will increase the likelihood for progressively disastrous forces developing due to Covid-19. Now more than ever it is of utmost importance that our immune systems function as well as possible to help prevent being infected with Covid-19 and other infections. Schedule Your Appointment Today! It's well known that untreated gum disease causes a generalized inflammation in the entire body. It's our bodies natural response to infection, and a weakened immune system today could be potentially fatal. So now, more than ever, you're periodontal health counts.
