    Its very publicized smoking causes cancer, high blood pressure, heart attacks and heart disease.  Smoking also causes oral health issues as well.  If you are a smoker, you are increasing your risk of developing oral cancer and gum disease (which leads to tooth loss and loss of jaw bone).  Dr. Sherzoy of Bergen County has been educating his patients about the harm they are causing to their mouth by smoking for nearly 20 years.  Patients from all over Bergen County have trusted Dr. Sherzoy to restore their smile from the damages smoking has caused.      

 There are so many different risks’ that come with smoking, these are just a few. 

• Bad breath
• Tooth discoloration
• Inflammation of the salivary gland openings on the roof of the mouth
• Increased build up of plaque and tartar on the teeth
• Increased loss of bone within the jaw
• Increased risk of leukoplakia, white patches inside the mouth
• Increased risk of developing gum disease, a leading cause of tooth loss
• Delayed healing process following tooth extraction, periodontal treatment, or oral surgery
• Lower success rate of dental implant procedures
• Increased risk of developing oral cancer

Dr. Sherzoy says, “If you are have any signs of gum disease; including bleeding gums, loose teeth, or any abnormalities you should see you dentist to be screened for oral cancer and periodontal disease.” Oral cancer, which includes cancers of the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, hard and soft palate, sinuses, and throat, can be life threatening if not diagnose and treated early. The overall 1 year survival rate for patients with all stages of oral cancer is 81%, making it a risk factor.

    Are you aware that 69% of adults ages 35 to 44 have lost at least one permanent tooth to an accident, gum disease, a failed root canal or tooth decay, and by the age 74, 26% of adults have lost all of their permanent teeth. Twenty years ago, there were no other option besides a fixed bridge or removable denture to restore a beautiful smile. Fixed bridges and removable dentures can also bring number of other problems. Dentures can slip, make embarrassing clicking sounds while eating or speaking, they can also lead to bone loss in the area where the teeth are missing. Fixed bridges are hard to clean between the teeth which can cause decay and periodontal (gum) disease.
 

    These are just a few reasons Dr. Sherzoy  prefers  Dental  Implants as tooth replacement versus dentures because they look and feel more natural, you don have to sorry about taking them out to clean, or being cautious about the dentures moving and becoming noticeable to other people.    According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID), dental implants are the ideal option to replacing aging bridges and messy dentures.
   

    The best way to describe a dental implant is to compare it to a real tooth.  A natural tooth consists of a root and a crown.  When you lose a tooth you lose both the root and the crown.  You need a dental implant which is basically a new root to replace both the root and the crown.

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 all sorts of dental problems like loose teeth, and bringing them back to its original shape and function.

When a tooth begins to feel loose, it is normally a sign of advanced gum disease. However, there are other possibilities. Occasionally a patient will complain about a tooth feeling loose when there is no actual problem present. All natural teeth have a slight amount of mobility that cushions them slightly when you chew. They are attached to the bone by a thin ligament layer, and they will move slightly in the socket. This is nothing about which someone should be alarmed. See our page about adult tooth movement. If a tooth suddenly becomes very loose, it may be a cracked root. These teeth are ordinarily not savable. Pay a visit to your dentist right away. A tooth can also become temporarily mobile from an impact injury. If the mobility is minor, it can heal without treatment. Significant looseness may require the tooth to be splinted in order to heal properly.

Dr. Sherzoy says the most common cause of tooth loss is not taking good care of the mouth—that is, not brushing and flossing each day and not having regular dental checkups. Even when tooth decay and periodontal disease can be treated, teeth can be lost if people are unwilling or unable to see a dentist. So just keep in mind that a loose teeth treatment is available and may save your smile for years to come.
