      <title>New York Periodontist Prabha Krishnan Urges Early Treatment of Gingivitis for Prevention of Periodontitis</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Forest Hills, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 01/15/2016 --  More than 3 million Americans currently suffer from the initial stage of gum disease called gingivitis. It presents itself as red gums which often bleed easily. Left untreated, the much more serious stage of gum disease, periodontitis, can set in leading to bone, tissue and tooth loss. <br />
<br />
There is good news though! Dr. Prabha Krishnan sees a very high success rate in patients that are seen by a periodontist as soon as these early signs of gum disease are noticed. Due to the fact that gingivitis is the easiest form of gum disease to treat, she cautions those suffering from common symptoms such as tender gums, receding gums, bleeding gums after brushing or flossing or recurrent bad breath to schedule a periodontal check up right away.<br />
<br />
To <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="prevent gingivitis" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/dental-services/dental-cleanings-prevention">prevent gingivitis</a>, Dr. Krishnan reminds patients to brush correctly and twice daily, to floss daily and to never skip bi-annual hygiene appointments. Making sure these steps are taken reduces your risk of plaque and tartar from accumulating on your teeth and gums.<br />

      <title>New York Periodontist Encourages Early Gum Disease Diagnosis and Treatment for Those Desiring to Keep Their Natural Teeth</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Gum Specialist Dr. Prabha Krishnan Preserves Natural Teeth Using Advanced Laser Treatment</p><p>Forest Hills, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 09/29/2015 --  A vast majority of, if not all, Americans would agree that keeping their own set of teeth is a high priority on their to-do list, yet a large number of people in this same category are faced with <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="gum disease" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com">gum disease</a> which can prevent them from doing so. Whether caused by poor oral health habits, diabetes or underlying medical issues, tobacco use, pregnancy, medication, chronic stress or even lack of access to professional dental cleanings, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="periodontal disease" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com">periodontal disease</a> is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half, 47.2% of adults, have some form of gum disease.<br />
<br />
Tooth loss occurs when plaque accumulates in the mouth. The bacteria in the plaque eat away the bone that holds the tooth in place causing gum disease which, if left untreated, can result in tooth loss. <br />
<br />
There is hope, as Dr. Krishnan explains, and early diagnosis is the key to keeping your teeth. "Patients that want to <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="avoid tooth replacement" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/lanap">avoid tooth replacement</a> procedures should seek an evaluation with a board certified Periodontist as soon as any signs or symptoms of gum disease appear. Many patients are not aware that a newer and FDA-approved laser alternative exists that is much more comfortable," says Dr. Krishnan. <br />
<br />
LANAP® (Laser Assisted New Attachment Protocol) is a quick and very effective laser treatment that supports regeneration of bone tissue which is often a vital tool for treating periodontal disease. As a gum surgery alternative, the LANAP® treatment removes periodontal disease while preserving and restoring natural teeth. Dr. Krishnan, a certified LANAP® protocol periodontist in Queens, can use the procedure to fight gingivitis as well. During the procedure, the specialized laser targets the infected pockets between the teeth and gums. Pulses of laser light are emitted removing bacteria and inflamed gum tissue without harming the surrounding healthy tissue. <br />
<br />
The LANAP® procedure is widely used by expert periodontists all over the world, but not every Periodontist has the certification or knowledge that Dr. Krishnan has to use this laser protocol. Patients in the Queens, NY area who are nervous about traditional gum surgery which includes cutting and stitching can seek a free evaluation with Dr. Krishnan.<br />

      <title>It's Time to Love the Gums You're With</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">More Than a Quarter of U.S. Adults are Dishonest with Dentists about How Often They Floss Their Teeth</p><p>Forest Hills, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 07/30/2015 --  National survey reveals there&apos;s room for improvement to educate Forest Hills, NY and Queens, NY residents on gum disease, which affects one in every two adults age 30 and over, and <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Periodontist Prabha Krishnan" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/about-us/meet-dr-krishnan">Periodontist Prabha Krishnan</a> agrees.<br />
<br />
A new national survey released today reveals more than a quarter (27 percent) of U.S. adults admits they lie to their dentist about how often they floss their teeth. Additionally, more than one-third of Americans (36 percent) would rather do an unpleasant activity like cleaning the toilet (14 percent) over daily flossing. Along with brushing teeth twice a day and recieving a comprehensive periodontal evaluation each year, daily flossing is a critical component in preventing periodontal disease. The survey was conducted online in March by Harris Poll on behalf of the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) among 2,021 U.S. adults and among the top 10 U.S. markets.<br />
<br />
Commonly referred to as gum disease, <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="periodontal disease" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/periodontal-disease">periodontal disease</a> is a chronic inflammatory disease caused when bacteria in plaque below the gum line leads to swelling, irritation, and possibly receding gums and  tooth loss. Periodontal disease has been linked to many chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer&apos;s disease, and even cancer. Despite its prevalence, periodontal disease is rarely discussed, resulting in a lack of urgency for the public to properly care for their gums.<br />
<br />
"The survey&apos;s findings clearly indicate that there&apos;s  more work to be done when it comes to educating Americans about the importance of oral hygiene in maintaining healthy gums. There are more than 500 bacterial species that can be found in plaque, and brushing alone does not remove the bacteria that live below the gum line," says Dr. Prabha Krishnan, periodontist of Forest Hills, NY. "As I tell my patients, periodontal disease is treatable and often reversible with proper and timely care. Working together, we can determine the best course of treatment based on my expertise and the patient&apos;s oral health goals."<br />
<br />
The new survey also revealed a list of unpleasant activities Americans would choose over flossing, including washing a sink full of dirty dishes (18 percent) or waiting in a long check-out line (14 percent). Nearly one in ten U.S. adults would rather sit in gridlock traffic for an hour or do their taxes (9 percent each) than floss their teeth.<br />
<br />
Healthiest Mouths By State, Region<br />
<br />
Interestingly, the survey also revealed some regional distinctions in oral health care. Among the top 10 U.S. markets, Chicagoans are more likely than those in other regions to opt for an hour of gridlock traffic over daily flossing. However, New Yorkers are more likely than those in other metro areas to include flossing in their personal care routine.<br />
<br />
Southern manners could also be at play. Those who live in Atlanta are more likely than those in other top metro regions to be honest with their dentists about their flossing routines. Atlantans also are more likely than those in other top metro regions to tell friends when they have something stuck in their teeth. On the contrary, those who live in D.C. are more likely than those in other top metro regions not to alert a friend of any potentially embarrassing lunch leftovers.<br />
<br />
Love The Gums You&apos;re With<br />
<br />
When it comes to relationships, those with and without partners should take note. Three in five (60 percent) U.S. adults who have a partner say their partner&apos;s oral health (e.g., teeth, gums, breath) has an effect on their intimacy, while over a third of Americans say a smile is the first thing they notice when meeting someone they are attracted to. In fact, more than two in five of those living in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Boston say a smile is the first thing they notice when meeting someone they are attracted to. This is especially true for women. So men, who are less likely to include oral care as a top priority, may want to up their game and schedule an annual periodontal visit.<br />
<br />
Take Action<br />
<br />
The AAP urges all Americans to Love the Gums You&apos;re With by adopting simple improvements into their oral hygiene routines. To aid in the prevention of periodontal disease, the AAP recommends brushing at least twice a day, flossing daily, and receiving a comprehensive periodontal evaluation once a year.<br />
<br />
Each patient is unique, and a dental professional can make a referral to a periodontist—a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease—for a specialized periodontal treatment plan.<br />

<br />
Methodology<br />
<br />
This survey was conducted online within the United States between March 20-24, 2015, among 2,021 adults ages 18 and older by Harris Poll, on behalf of American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) via its QuickQuery omnibus product, and from March 24-30, 2015, via its Major Market Query omnibus product among the following top 10 U.S. markets: New York City (n=212), Los Angeles (n=211), Chicago (n=212), Philadelphia (n=211), Dallas-Fort Worth (n=212), San Francisco (n=214), Boston (n=212), Washington, DC (n=213), Atlanta (n=210), and Houston (n=209). Figures for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, region and household income were weighted where necessary to bring them into line with their actual proportions in the population. Propensity score weighting was used to adjust for respondents&apos; propensity to be online.<br />
<br />
About Periodontal Disease<br />
Periodontal disease is caused by bacteria in the mouth that form plaque below the gum line. There are more than 500 bacterial species that can be found in plaque, and brushing alone does not remove the bacteria that live below the gum line. Poor oral hygiene is a primary cause of periodontal disease, but several other risk factors play a role in the development and progression of the disease including smoking, age, and genetics. While periodontal disease is mostly preventable and treatable, the early warning signs can be painless, leading to a lack of urgency in people to establish adequate oral hygiene habits or to discuss their periodontal health with a dental professional. With an appropriate diagnosis, the damage from periodontal disease is reversible in many cases.<br />
<br />

      <title>NY Periodontist Reports on Medications Adversely Affecting the Gums</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Periodontist Prabha Krishnan Urges Patients On Certain Medications To Be On The Lookout For Gum Inflammation, Soreness Or Other Gum Disease Symptoms.</p><p>Forest Hills, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 06/12/2015 --  Gum disease, an infection that attacks the gums and the bone that support the teeth, can be caused by a number of factors. While many cases are seen in those with poor oral health habits, there are also a growing number of patients displaying a type of gum swelling referred to as medication related gingival hyperplasia.<br />
<br />
Gum swelling or gingival overgrowth occurs when the gum tissue becomes so swollen that it begins to grow over the teeth. "This gingival overgrowth can increase the risk of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="periodontal disease" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com">periodontal disease</a> as the environment it creates in a patient&apos;s mouth is more likely to harbor bacteria," says Dr. Krishnan. Bacteria in the gums, if not taken care of promptly, can damage the gums and surrounding tooth structures. Medication related gingival hyperplasia may not present with the usual <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="signs of gum disease" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com">signs of gum disease</a> and may be difficult to notice due to the fact that the gums may not be tender, bleed easily or be discolored. <br />
<br />
Medications we know of that can cause the overgrowth and swelling of gum tissue include: <br />
<br />
- Blood pressure medications - nifedipine, verapamil, diltiazem and amlodipine<br />
- Phenytoin, a seizure medication<br />
- Cyclosporine, a drug often used to prevent transplant rejection<br />
<br />
The good news is that practicing good oral hygiene and scheduling your oral health visits more frequently can help lower any chances of developing this condition as well as allowing any potential problems to be caught early. This is also why it&apos;s very important to let your Dentist and Periodontist know of all medications you are taking.  <br />

      <title>Warning: Take Extra Care of Your Dental Implants</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">NY Periodontist Prabha Krishnan cautions patients to pay attention to dental implants to avoid peri-implantitis</p><p>Forest Hills, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 05/07/2015 --  Of the 30 million Americans missing teeth in one or both jaws, the number of patients turning to <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="dental implants" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/dental-services/dental-implants-forest-hills-ny">dental implants</a> continues to increase. According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, 3+ million currently have implants, and that number is growing by 500,000 per year. The <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="dental implant procedure" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/dental-services/dental-implants-forest-hills-ny">dental implant procedure</a> success rate and preserved smile outcome continue to make this a popular treatment choice for those missing key teeth.<br />
<br />
However, with the rise in implants comes the growth in cases of peri-implantitis. Not unlike gum disease around natural teeth, peri-implantitis disease affects the gums and tissues around dental implants. Whether the cause be less than perfect oral hygiene habits or a fear to clean extensively around the implant itself, action must be taken as soon as any odd symptoms are noticed so that damage to the gums, damage to the bone, gum recession, loss of bone or potential loss of the implant itself does not occur.<br />
<br />
Dr. Krishnan states, "We&apos;ve been noticing an increase of incoming dental implant patients with <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="gum disease symptoms" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/periodontal-disease/signs-symptoms-periodontal-disease">gum disease symptoms</a> such as inflammation and bleeding. Unfortunately, many people choose to wait instead of addressing the problem early, leading to more severe gum disease consequences and often the loss of the dental implant itself." As soon as any symptoms are noticed, seeing an experienced Periodontist is crucial to the outcome. Gum disease has been linked to several very serious health conditions including heart disease, stroke as well as cancer.  <br />
<br />
Dr. Krishnan&apos;s new patients are drawn to her cutting edge option for taking care of their <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="peri-implantitis" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/lanap">peri-implantitis</a>. In her Forest Hills, New York office location, she offers the LAPIP® method utilizing the PerioLase® MVP-7™ laser. This LAPIP® laser treatment protocol allows Dr. Krishnan to vaporize only the diseased gum cells allowing healthy cells to remain intact. Her patients love that there are no cuts, stitches and very little bleeding. A free laser treatment consultation is offered to discuss this cutting edge option, and Saturday appointments are available.<br />

      <title>New York Periodontist Prabha Krishnan Raises Awareness During Oral Cancer Awareness Month</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Staggering numbers of oral cancer diagnoses are a cause for both concern and action according to Dr. Prabha Krishnan in Queens, NY</p><p>Forest Hills, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 04/02/2015 --  April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month and a good time to take a closer look at the devastating facts of this dreadful disease. According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, approximately 45,750 people in the US will be newly diagnosed with oral cancer in 2015. While some still believe oral cancer is rare, alarming statistics show that a person dies from oral cancer every hour of every single day.<br />
<br />
<a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Oral cancer" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/dental-services/dental-cleanings-prevention/oral-cancer-exam">Oral cancer</a> includes those cancers that occur in the mouth itself, in the very back of the mouth, and on the exterior lip of the mouth. The rate of occurrence of these cancers has continued to increase for 8 years in a row - a fact that has Dr. Prabha Krishnan concerned. Contrary to popular belief, oral cancer is not just seen in patients that smoke, use chewing tobacco or drink heavier amounts of alcohol, although the risk is greater in these cases. There are also unknown factors as well as the recently discovered connection between the human papilloma virus (HPV, specifically HPV16) and oral cancer.<br />
<br />
The good news is that when discovered at early stages of development, oral cancers have a very promising 80 to 90 % survival rate. "This high survival rate is the reason we give our patients an oral cancer screening each year", says <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Dr. Krishnan" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/about-us/meet-dr-krishnan">Dr. Krishnan</a>. New patients of Dr. Prabha Krishnan are always offered a complimentary visual screening at their first visit. The screening is quick, causes no discomfort and offers peace of mind.<br />
<br />
During the visual part of the examination, Dr. Krishnan carefully looks for any abnormalities. Any red or white patches, mouth sores or lumps inside the mouth, including those that may be painless, may be cause for concern. Additional testing including a biopsy may be recommended to determine whether anything visible is cancerous.<br />

      <title>NY Periodontist Dr. Krishnan Discusses the Risks of Untreated Gum Disease</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Queens NY Periodontist Prabha Krishnan urges patients to be seen immediately if experiencing any symptoms of gum disease</p><p>Forest Hills, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 02/24/2015 --  <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Gum disease" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/periodontal-disease">Gum disease</a> is an infection that attacks the gums and the bone that support the teeth. It is characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums. Although it sadly affects 4 out of 5 people, many who have it do not know because it is often painless in its early stages.  <br />
<br />
Gum disease starts when bacteria that thrive on food acid form a sticky paste (plaque) at the base of the teeth. If this plaque is not removed with regular and correctly done brushing, flossing and professional dental cleanings, it hardens. The sensitive tissues of the gums become irritated leading to periodontal disease. The damage continues if left untreated resulting in deep decay, loose teeth and ultimately lost teeth. A few lost teeth affect the appearance of the smile and also affect the supporting structure of the surrounding teeth.<br />
<br />
Most importantly though are the systemic health implications that result from gum disease. A 4-day, joint workshop between the American Academy of Periodontology and the European Federation of Periodontology, which was supported by an educational grant from Colgate Palmolive, noted that evidence indicates a connection between periodontitis and other systemic diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumonia, chronic kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, cognitive impairment, obesity, metabolic syndrome, cancer and cardiovascular disease. Numerous studies also show a link between gum disease and diabetes. Pregnant women with gum disease may risk preterm delivery of a low birth weight baby. Continuing research is taking place to examine the exact association between periodontitis and systemic diseases. <br />
<br />
We do know with certainty that improved periodontal health contributes to better overall health. Those experiencing any <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="signs of gum disease" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/periodontal-disease/signs-symptoms-periodontal-disease">signs of gum disease</a> should seek the help of a qualified periodontist right away. Dr. Krishnan has treated patients with varying degrees of periodontal disease for over 20 years at her Forest Hills, NY office location. She offers both traditional gum surgery, scaling and root planing as well as the most advanced and gentle treatment alternative - <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="LANAP® laser gum treatment" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/lanap">LANAP® laser gum treatment</a>. "Our desire is for no patient to leave gum disease untreated. We offer many specialized treatment options to help our patients feel comfortable making the right choice to take care of this devastating problem", says Dr. Krishnan.<br />

      <title>Queens NY Periodontist Prabha Krishnan Encourages a Focus on Oral Health for Improving Life in 2015</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Forest Hills, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 01/23/2015 --  As the excitement of the New Year begins to die down and fitness resolutions meet their match with day-to-day life, Dr. Prabha Krishnan reminds patients of the health benefits that can be seen from practicing exceptional oral health.<br />
<br />
Treadmills, stairmasters and weights are all excellent choices when it comes to lowering your risk of stroke, heart disease and diabetes. There is, however, another weapon that many are unaware  of - <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="oral health care" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/dental-services/dental-cleanings-prevention">oral health care</a>. Brushing, flossing, rinsing and not skipping any dental cleanings and exams can influence your health as much as that 30 minutes a day at the gym.<br />
<br />
That&apos;s why Forest Hills, New York Periodontist Prabha Krishnan is making every effort to empower her patients with oral health education and to encourage them to focus on their mouths in 2015. From snacking choices to daily decisions on how much time to spend cleaning the teeth, gums and tongue, she wants everyone to know the small differences that can have a big impact.<br />
<br />
Dr. Krishnan has treated patients with varying degrees of <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="periodontal disease" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/periodontal-disease">periodontal disease</a> for more than two decades. Some of these patients could have avoided the need to seek a specialist&apos;s help had they known the importance of good oral hygiene. "Most patients that come in due to symptoms such as bleeding or inflamed gums, loose or shifting teeth or persistent bad breath don&apos;t know what can happen if they leave these signs untreated," says Dr. Krishnan. Numerous studies show a link between gum disease, heart disease, diabetes, respiratory tract disease, and preterm delivery of low birth weight babies. <br />

For those in search of a <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="periodontist specialist in Queens, NY" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/">periodontist specialist in Queens, NY</a> that offers traditional cleanings, deeper tissue cleanings as well as the FDA-approved laser gum surgery alternative called LANAP, visit Dr. Krishnan online at http:///www.yourgumspecialist.com or call 718-878-4878 to schedule a complimentary consultation.<br />

      <title>Good News for Patients with Gum Disease in New York</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p>Forest Hills, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.releasewire.com/">ReleaseWire</a>) -- 12/16/2014 --  Periodontist Dr. Prabha Krishnan has treated patients with <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="gum disease in the Queens NY" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/">gum disease in the Queens NY</a> area for over 20 years. A common theme she sees before and often after traditional gum surgery treatment is <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="gum recession" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/periodontics/gum-recession">gum recession</a>. Gum recession plays a key role in periodontal (gum) disease because the infection actually lies in the tissues that hold the teeth in place. Thanks to advanced technology, gum recession is becoming far less prevalent.<br />
<br />
Gum recession has both functional and cosmetic effects. When the margin of the gum tissue surrounding the tooth wears away, it exposes more of the tooth and tooth&apos;s root. As roots become exposed, the teeth become increasingly and often painfully sensitive to hot and cold temperatures causing patients to avoid normal foods and beverages. In addition, receding gums cause teeth to appear longer as well as more discolored because the roots are darker than the tooth enamel and stain easily due to their rougher surfaces.  <br />
<br />
Dr. Krishnan offers a laser treatment alternative that is more selective and much less invasive.  With the aid of a laser, no cutting or stitches are involved. The <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="LANAP® laser gum treatment" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/lanap">LANAP® laser gum treatment</a> stimulates the root surface, promoting bone and tissue regeneration and attachment even after the procedure is complete. The patient experiences far less discomfort, minimal gum recession, a shorter healing time and improved long-term results. <br />

      <title>New York Periodontist Prabha Krishnan Saves Dental Implants with LAPIP, a Revolutionary Gum Disease Treatment</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Revolutionary new treatment can save dental implants.</p><p>Forest Hills, NY -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 11/06/2014 --  What happens when a good <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="dental implant" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/procedures/oral-maxillofacial-surgery/dental-implants/">dental implant</a> goes bad? Many people are finding themselves in this situation today. <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Dental implants" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/procedures/oral-maxillofacial-surgery/dental-implants/">Dental implants</a> have become the preferred treatment solution to missing teeth. An estimated 2­ million implants are placed in mouths annually, and more patients choose this alternative to dentures or bridges. However, the same chronic infection that affects the gums around natural teeth also endangers the gum tissue around implants.<br />
<br />
"We are noticing an increase of dental implant patients with <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="gum disease symptoms" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/periodontal-disease/">gum disease symptoms</a> such as inflammation and bleeding", says Dr. Krishnan. "If not addressed early and treated properly, this disease called peri­implantitis can cause gum recession, bone density loss around the implant and eventually may cause loss of the dental implant itself."<br />
<br />
A number of reasons may be the cause for peri-­implantitis. However, as with <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="gum disease" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com/periodontal-disease/">gum disease</a> around natural teeth, (peridontitis), poor oral hygiene is often a culprit. Flossing and brushing twice daily for two minutes as well as biannual dental checkups are the best preventative measures one can take. And, if any symptoms are noticed, seeing a <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="Periodontist" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com">Periodontist</a> right away is crucial. Gum disease has been linked to several very serious health conditions including heart disease, stroke as well as cancer.<br />
<br />
Thanks to advances in technology and training, there is now a less invasive treatment solution for patients with peri­implantitis. Dr. Prabha Krishan, serving patients in the Queens, NY area for over two decades, offers the PerioLase® MVP­7TM laser. This LAPIP® laser treatment protocol allows <a class="extlink"  target="_blank"  rel="nofollow noopener" title="NY Periodontist" href="http://www.yourgumspecialist.com">NY Periodontist</a> Dr. Prabha Krishnan to vaporize only the diseased gum cells allowing healthy cells to remain intact. Patients love that there are no cuts, stitches and very little bleeding.<br />
