How Periodontists Protect Your Health

As a practicing periodontist in Fort Lauderdale and Coral Springs over the past thirty years, I have received extensive periodontal training beginning with an education in periodontics, a field that focuses on the diagnose, treatment and prevention of periodontal diseases.   Having an expertise in periodontics further qualifies me to place cosmetic dental implants, which can restore bite and chewing functions often impaired by periodontal diseases such as periodontitis.   In addition, this background has led to a steady flow of patients in need of cosmetic periodontal procedures to overcome gummy smiles and long teeth. My goal for your periodontal therapy is to eliminate disease and restore health to your mouth for a lifetime. This includes comfort, function and esthetics which can be maintained by you and your periodontist.


Often, dentists refer their patients to periodontists like me when periodontal disease is present. However, you don't need a referral to see a periodontist in Broward County. In fact, there are occasions when you may choose to go directly to a periodontist or to refer a family member or friend to our office.


The inflammatory response to bacteria in the mouth may be the cause behind the periodontal-systemic disease link. Many of the diseases associated with periodontal disease are also considered to be systemic inflammatory disorders, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, chronic kidney and lung diseases and even certain forms of cancer. This suggests that inflammation itself may be the basis for the connection. There is also a link with pre-term low birth weight babies.


If you value your oral health as well as your overall health, anytime is a good time to see me for a periodontal evaluation. Sometimes the only way to detect periodontal disease is through a clinical evaluation conducted by a periodontist. A periodontal evaluation is important even if you do not exhibit signs of periodontal disease.
