Smile – Your Biggest Asset
We've all heard the old saying that it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile, yet many people avoid smiling because they're embarrassed by their teeth. In fact, in a survey on the American Academy of Periodontology's website, 25% of the people said what bothered them the most about their smile was either their teeth looked too long or their smile was too gummy.
In spite of this concern for their smile, only a quarter of the people involved in the survey actually knew that their smile could easily be fixed by a periodontal procedure involving reshaping of the gum line. This procedure and many more can be done by a Long Island periodontist.
What is a Periodontist?
Periodontists specialize in their diagnosis, treatment as well as prevention of diseases that affect the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. They also specialize in placement of dental implants, an option for replacement of lost teeth that's becoming more affordable and popular every year.
Another area of expertise with periodontists is the treatment of oral inflammation. In addition to attending dental school, periodontists receive specialized training for an additional three years. In Suffolk County, patients seeking expert dental care can see Long Island periodontist Dr. David R. Scharf.
Cosmetic Periodontal Procedures
Cosmetic periodontal procedures are being done more than ever before for many problems causing people to have a closed mouth smile. Crown lengthening is a procedure where the excess gum and bone is recontoured so that there is more tooth showing as opposed to a lot of gummy area. Once this procedure is done, the patient is often so happy, they request tooth whitening, another excellent enhancement for your smile. Although crown lengthening is usually done for a function purpose such as for crown preparation, it's also an excellent choice for esthetic reasons.
Periodontal procedures make a dramatic difference in the patient's smile and, therefore, their entire feeling of self confidence. Often problems that have plagued individuals for years and made them self-conscious can be easily remedied by crown lengthening or some other simple form of gum reconstruction that Long Island periodontist Dr. Scharf is very familiar with, having helped many patients with similar problems.
The result is a happy patient and bright smile! Crown lengthening is just one of the many periodontal procedures that can be done to help improve your smile and teeth. If you're looking for a Long Island Periodontist, contact Dr. Scharf at (631) 661-6633 or visit him on the web at http://drscharf.com. Dr. Scharf will treat your disease with a laser rather than a scalpel.
An alternative to a Chicago Periodontist is Dr. Michael Marcus. He uses a lser to treat gum disease. Dr. Barney Lim is a Bay Area Periodontist who treats gum disease with a a laser as well.

Flossing for your Life by Long Island Periodontist David Scharf

Flossing for Your Life
Everyone has always been told by their periodontist or dentist to make sure to brush at least twice daily and to floss regularly. This is sage advice not only because it causes you to have healthy teeth and gums but it reduces your risk of contracting other diseases. Did you know that it has been proven that flossing can even save your life?
Sure it is important to have a great smile with glowing white teeth. It is just as enjoyable to eat things without the sensitivity that can be caused by not keeping up with a proper dental regimen. Keeping a proper dental hygiene regimen is just as important to reduce your risk of gum disease also known as Periodontal disease. Periodontal disease has been linked to many serious health problems. The simple act of flossing your teeth when you brush can reduce your risk of having a heart attack, stroke or other illnesses. Periodontal disease would include things like the advanced form of gum disease called Periodontitis. Periodontitis causes bone loss which can lead to loose teeth and can even cause your teeth to fall out. Periodontitis can occur when gingivitis is left untreated. Of course, the best way to not get even gingivitis is to have regular dental check ups, brush regularly (at least twice a day), and flossing regularly (along with brushing).
By following a proper dental hygiene regimen you will not only have better teeth and breath, but you will increase your potential for staying healthy in regards to your circulatory system and overall health. The plaque bacteria that is eliminated by a regular dental regimen will not have the chance to get into your blood stream reeking havoc on your body. You will feel better not only physically, but emotionally knowing that you are reducing your risks by simply flossing along with your regular brushing. Flossing also can treat bleeding gums Long Island

Gum Disease and Tongue Cancer
Sunday, April 26, 2009
You want to do everything you can to reduce your risk of developing cancer, right? Can you imagine what you would go through if you were diagnosed with cancer? Can you imagine the worry that it would cause your family? Cancer is extremely difficult to face not only in terms of your mortality, but also in terms of treatment. What if you could do something to lessen your risk?
Gum disease has been linked to tongue cancer. Tongue cancer has usually been thought to be more associated with smoking then to anything else. Smoking is still thought to be a huge risk factor in developing tongue cancer, but gum disease is also a big risk factor. No other oral problem has been linked to tongue cancer other than gum disease.
When people are diagnosed with tongue cancer they are also checked for gum disease in order to reduce the risk of recurring tongue cancer. Long Island periodontist Dr. Scharf consults both cancer patients and those at risk of developing tongue cancer. A simple way to help reduce your risk of developing cancer would be to treat gum disease Long Island right away. As soon as gum disease sets in it can begin to cause bone loss. Every millimeter of bone loss that gum disease causes puts someone at five times greater risk of developing tongue cancer.
For people looking for a Long Island Periodontist there is no reason to be worried about treating gum disease. In most cases surgery is not necessary as has been thought in the past. Through the use of a periodontal laser on Long Island, Dr. Scharf can treat your gum disease without the need for old fashioned cut and stitch surgery. Not only is the procedure less invasive, but there is also less pain and a quicker recovery time. Another positive not is that you will not have to go into an operating room since Long Island periodontist Dr. Scharf can perform periodontal laser treatment in his office.
