  • Concern for gum graft recovery

    Not a big problem but I prefer to see the graft tightly attached to the bone. Sometimes if the graft was thick then some elastic and fat tissue nay be present. I would wait 2 months and if it's still mobile then flap the tissue back and remove any: fat, elastic or muscle fibers. READ MORE

  • I can see a black spot on my gums. What could it be?

    It can be from an old silver amalgam filling. When these old fillings are removed, sometimes a piece if filling material becomes embedded in the gum tissue. It's called an amalgam tattoo. It may also be melanin pigmentation. In people of color, much of the gum is dark pink but spots of dark brown are usually present. Definitely see an oral surgeon or periodontist for a,diagnosis READ MORE

  • Gum disease and heart disease

    There have been many good studies showing a very strong association between inflamatory diseases like Periodontitis and atheroscleroric heart disease. The plaques found in coronary arteries often have the same bacteria in them that we find in the periodontal pockets of Periodontitis patients. Statistically there is a strong association but a causative relationship has not been proven but merely speculated. A recent study done at NYU LANGONE by Dr. Young has also show a strong association between periodontal pathogenic bacteria and pancreatic cancer. These researchers are not doing a,study to see if injecting these bacteria into rats will CAUSE pancreatic cancer. READ MORE

  • What is a dry socket?

    Dry socket occurs 4 to 5 days after a tooth extraction where the blood clot falls or is sucked out of the socket. It is not an infection. Treatment: the dentist cleans out the socket and places a dressing often made of gauze with eugenol. It takes 10 days for new tissue to line the socket and relieve the pain. This is more common in smokers. READ MORE
