- Phoenix-Mesa, AZ (1888PressRelease) February 03, 2015 - Dr. Mark A. Espinoza is announcing that he will be focusing more of the practice, of Central Dental Care in Phoenix, Arizona, upon soft tissue management. The rationale behind this shift in treatment priorities is that many Dentists are practicing a Program of "Managed Neglect" with a "cleaning-twice-a-year" standard. Diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease is a vital aspect of the Total Treatment Plan that is of great importance to overall patient health and their ability to keep their teeth all their lives.
Among Dentists, periodontal disease is known as the "Silent Killer" for its lack of symptoms. Most patients experience no discomfort, except for some spotty blood while flossing (if they do floss), until they begin to experience irreversible problems such as bone and tooth loss. And bone and tooth loss might be the least of the worries of somebody with advanced periodontal disease. More and more studies are linking periodontal disease with serious conditions like diabetes, heart problems, pregnancy miscarriages, dementia, Alzheimer's and osteoporosis.
It is precisely because of the links between periodontal disease and these other serious health conditions that Central Dental Care is making the shift in patient treatment priorities. For just diabetes alone, the relationship between diabetes and periodontal disease has been the subject of more than two hundred articles published in English during the past fifty years. And much of this research has suggested that the relationship between diabetes and periodontal disease goes both ways - periodontal disease may make it more difficult for people who have diabetes to control their blood sugar. Severe periodontal disease can even increase blood sugar.
Dr. Espinoza says, "I got into Dentistry to help people and change their lives. Once I learned about the link between periodontal disease and these other serious conditions. I can no longer keep this knowledge to myself."
The idea with this shift in treatment priorities is to identify and treat periodontal diseases early thus preventing the patient from having to ever see a Periodontist. Once a patient is at the point where they are referred to a Periodontist, the damage, and consequential health problems, can be irreversible and extensive. Additionally, with the early detection and treatment of early onset periodontal diseases, like gingivitis, people can look forward to keeping their natural teeth all of their lives.
