Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. Periodontal diseases attack just below the gum in which causes the supporting tissues to break down. As the tissues are damaged it creates a deeper pocket around the tooth. Once someone has periodontal disease it’s not reversible, but can be controlled with proper maintenance. Dr. Sherzoy strongly believes that being treated at once for bleeding gum disease is a smart way to prevent an unhealthy smile. You may not think that Periodontal Gum Disease is fatal but indeed it is. It causes heart attacks, strokes and birth defects. The American Academy of Periodontology, explains several theories that link periodontal disease and heart disease. One theory is that oral bacteria can affect the heart when it enters the blood stream, attaching to fatty plaques in the coronary arteries (heart blood vessels) and contributing to clot formation. There is now new evidence that besides smoking, alcohol use and drug use during pregnancy can cause low birth weight, also periodontal disease is becoming a new risk factor.  More research is needed to confirm how periodontal disease may affect pregnancy outcomes, but it appears periodontal disease increases levels of biological fluid that induces labor.

Here at Bogota Dental, we are up to date with all the technology of our procedures, which is why white composites are Dr. Sherzoy’s preferred method for filling in cavities versus the silver fillings. White composites look more natural since they are designed to match the color of your teeth.

At Bogota Dental, we restore your smile to its original beauty. Dr Sherzoy is well qualified in the field of Cosmetic Dentistry, a specialized aspect of dentistry, dealing with decayed teeth, and bringing them back to its original shape and function.

Dr. Sherzoy gives his patients many reasons why they should choose white fillings over the tradition silver fillings. The mercury in silver fillings is viewed as potentially toxic, and many patients feel that the white composite fillings represent a more advanced technology. Composite fillings are also more cosmetically pleasing and resistant to fracture.

Dr. Bernard Rupnarain, a renowned Periodontist at the Bogota Dental Center, is hoping to help patients achieve a better understanding of the importance of oral hygiene and how it relates to their overall health and well-being. Dr Rupnarain is inviting all Bergen County residents to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss the dangers, signs and methods of preventing gum disease. 

An estimated 80 percent of American adults currently have some form of periodontal disease, an infection of the tissues that support the teeth.  Symptoms of gum disease include:

• Bad breath that won’t go away
• Red or swollen gums
• Tender or bleeding gums
• Painful chewing
• Loose teeth
• Sensitive teeth

Gum Disease is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults. More importantly, research has shown and experts agree that infections associated with the disease can lead to severe health risks including stroke and heart disease.  It has also been shown that children of mothers with untreated tooth decay have four times the risk of decay compared with children of other mothers.  Expecting women with gum disease are also more likely to give birth pre-term. 

For diabetics, gum disease is especially dangerous.  Severe periodontal disease can increase blood sugar, putting diabetics at increased risk for complications.

According to Dr. Rupnarain, “Something as simple as allowing plaque and tarter to accumulate on your teeth can lead to Gingivitis, an infection in the gums.  If untreated, the infection will spread to the tissue and bone that holds teeth in place, leading to a host of other severe health problems.”

The series of complimentary consultations offered at Bogota Dental Center aim to educate residents on the dangers of neglecting oral health and avoiding bi-yearly visits to the dentist.  Dr Rupnarain hopes that anyone that has neglected their oral hygiene will take advantage of the complimentary consultations, “If they do have signs of gum disease, we may be able to treat the problem before it spreads to their bone or tissue.  The consequences are too severe to ignore the symptoms.”
