Obesity, Young Adults and Gum Disease
Young adults are very concerned with how they look and try very hard to maintain their image. Did you know that there is more reasons than simply cosmetic to be concerned with obesity? Did you know that it has been proven that there is a link between obesity and gum disease in young adults?
Not only does obesity put a person's health at risk simply because of the strains that the extra weight puts on the body and the implications of the diet, but it also puts young adults at greater risk for periodontal disease. While there is not a link in other age groups, research has shown that in young adults ages 18 – 34 obesity puts you at much higher risk to have gum disease. This will mean that not only will you worry about negative health consequences of being overweight, but you will worry about the negative health consequences of gum disease. Gum disease can lead to a wide array of health problems if left untreated including heart attack, stroke, osteoporosis, lung disease and more. Gum disease can also lead to loose teeth and tooth loss.
Long Island periodontist Dr. Scharf consults patients with concerns linked to this and other problems every day. Prevention would include a daily dental regimen of brushing twice daily, flossing once per day and regular six month check ups. Controlling ones weight is also recommended as it is believed that the diet that young adults succumb to including carbonated beverages help to soften the teeth and encourages a build up of bacterial plaque on teeth. Once the plaque builds up and the gums become infected you are at greater risk.
There is no reason to put off treatment for periodontal disease. Understandably, most people are afraid of dental surgery.periodo Patients on Long Island referred to Dr. Scharf have been happy to know that their gum disease can be treated with a laser rather than surgery. Done as an in office procedure, this conservative procedure is a very popular option.

Links Between Gum Disease and Osteoporosis
Do you or someone you love have Osteoporosis? Did you know that gum disease has been linked to osteoporosis? Osteoporosis and gum disease attack people of the same age range and they work in tandem negatively effecting bone structure. You may think that treatment for such diseases is painful and long term but that is not necessarily true.
The fact that gum disease and osteoporosis both attack the bones works both for the diseases and for the doctors trying to treat them. Long Island Periodontist Dr. Scharf is frequently referred to by dentists to treat and inform people at risk for or currently diagnosed with gum disease. He informs them of how treating the gum disease will greatly reduce the risk of increased risk or problems with osteoporosis. Treating gum disease reduces your risk for bone loss almost immediately. Most people are afraid of having gum surgery and causes them to either put off or avoid treatment all together. Long Island residents can take comfort in the fact that they do not have to have gum surgery but can enjoy the benefits of treatment through a conservative procedure using a laser. The procedure can be done safely in the office of Dr. Scharf who is a Periodontist on Long Island.
Treatments for osteoporosis are recommended to be performed in tandem with treatment for gum disease. Osteoporosis treatment for older women is usually as simple as hormone replacement therapy. The treatment of the osteoporosis will help along fixing damage caused by gum disease, but why let it go as far as to have to worry about fixing bone loss when there is a procedure on Long Island that does not involve surgery and will produce immediate results in terms of halting further damage.
