Taking the Fight to Gum Disease

10/29/2015

Comments

​With the advent of LANAP® laser gum surgery, Dr. Raymond A. Kenzik acquired an innovative technology to fight gum disease in Ormond Beach, FL. For those who are affected by gum disease, approximately 30% of people who inherit a genetic predisposition to the condition, as well as the multitude of others who increase their risk though poor oral hygiene habits, this is incredibly beneficial news. Laser gum surgery can assist in reversing the progression of gum disease.

​October recognizes Dental Hygiene Month, creating a perfect opportunity to educate patients of the intricacies of gum disease progression, while promoting healthy habits which can decrease the risk of developing the condition.
What Causes Gum Disease? 
Gum disease results from a bacterial infection in the space between the gums and teeth. This space is an ideal environment for bacteria to accumulate, inevitably causing teeth to retract from the gums. If left untreated, the pockets between the gums and the teeth may extend to the tooth socket, undermining the bone structure, causing additional teeth to be adversely affected. 

Shutting the Door on Bacteria 
Practicing good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing to remove surface plaque, as well as  routine visits to the dentist for deep cleanings are ideal preventive measures for maintaining optimal oral health. Although, proper oral hygiene is essential, these additional tips can assist in maintaining oral and overall health:
  • Quitting smoking or chewing tobacco. Tobacco impedes tissue healing.
  • Relaxing more. Stress inhibits the immune system’s ability to fight infection.
  • Eating well. Foods rich in nutrients, such as vitamins C and E strengthen the immune system.
Dr. Kenzik and his staff are on a mission to eliminate gum disease in Ormond Beach, FL. For more information or to seek a consultation, please call 386-672-9440 to schedule your next appointment. ​

Start smiling brighter, laughing harder, and being more confident.
