Manhattan, NY Full Service Dental and Speciality Practice Raises Awareness of Gum Disease Alongside The American Academy of Periodontology

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/30/2015 -- The American Academy of Periodontology's "Love The Your Gums You're With" campaign highlights the significantly increasing rate of gum disease and states, "Americans and their Gums: A Relationship on the Rocks." And, as this number of Americans with gum disease continues to climb, Dr. Todd Bertman of Advanced Dental Arts NYC and his team of specialists including periodontics, pedontics, orthodontics and endodontists have a renewed focus to educate their patients and community about the danger of untreated gum disease and the easy ways to prevent it.

Periodontal disease, more commonly known as gum disease, starts with plaque. With more than 500 bacterial species that can be found in this sticky, colorless film that builds up between gums and teeth, tooth brushing alone is not efficient enough to eliminate it. Because the bacteria thrives also below the gum line, daily flossing is crucial to preventing gum disease and maintaining good oral health. "We see the positive effects of flossing in the mouths of our patients who commit to this simple and yet powerful practice of regular flossing," says Dr. Todd Bertman. "Those that consistently floss, along with brushing for two minutes twice daily and keeping up with their twice yearly hygiene visits, are not coming to see us with swollen, tender, bleeding gums, bad breath or loose teeth - the common signs of this growing problem."

Besides affecting oral health, well studied research proves that untreated gum disease increases the risk factor for many other health complications including heart disease, diabetes, stroke and even cancer. In an effort to halt these negative effects, Advanced Dental Arts NYC offers the very latest and preferred treatment method for gum disease called LANAP. The advanced LANAP® laser treatment protocol makes it easier and less intimidating for patients to stop the spread and devastating effects of gum disease because no cutting or stitches are involved. LANAP® selectively targets and destroys the diseased tissue without harming any surrounding healthy tissue. Patients can resume normal activities following the procedure and need just two, one-hour appointments with their Periodontist to take care of the problem.

Laser Gum Surgery Utilizing the LANAP Protocol is Effective and a Preferred Treatment Method by Periodontists and Patients

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/28/2014 -- Led by Dr. Todd Bertman, Advanced Dental Arts NYC with locations in Greenwich Village and Midtown East, New York is particularly focused this month on reminding patients of the dire need for exceptional dental hygiene and the treatment solutions for those with previously poor dental hygiene habits. In addition to brushing teeth twice a day and flossing, professional dental checkups scheduled twice yearly are necessary for preventing and treating gum disease.

"Every day we see patients experiencing signs of gum disease. Many have no idea that their swollen, tender or bleeding gums, bad breath and loose teeth are symptoms of this widespread problem," says Dr. Todd Bertman. "Most important to our team is to help patients understand that gum disease left untreated increases the risk for a multitude of other health complications." Research continues to build in support of the fact that persistent gum disease can intensify the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer.

Thanks to a specialized laser called the PerioLase® MVP-7™, the LANAP® treatment protocol is making it easier and less intimidating for patients to stop the spread and devastating effects of gum disease. Traditional treatments involve the cutting and suturing of gum tissue resulting in more discomfort, bleeding, downtime and treatment visits. LANAP® has an exceptional advantage over traditional gum surgery in that it selectively targets and destroys diseased tissue while leaving healthy tissue untouched. Patients are able to return to normal activities following the procedure and usually need only two one-hour dental appointments to effectively take care of the problem.

Manhattan, New York area patients experiencing any of the above-described gum disease symptoms are urged to schedule a consultation at either of their two state of the art locations in Greenwich Village or Midtown East. Visit them online at www.advancedentalartsnyc.com or call the Greenwich Village location at 646.400.0839 or Midtown East at 646.400.0730.
