May 15, 2007 (Venice, Fla.) – Periodontology, once considered a taboo topic in the world of dental health, has found a formidable opponent in Steven Feldman, DDS. Based in Venice, Florida, Dr. Feldman’s practice specializes in diagnosing, treating and eradicating Periodontitis or gum disease.
A serious condition that can lead to eventual tooth loss, gum disease is most typically recognized by bleeding gums. Not necessarily painful or noticeable until its advanced stages, gum disease has been linked to heart disease, a startling and sobering realization.
Treatable through a variety of invasive and non-invasive methods, Dr. Feldman and his staff counsel patients to brush and floss regularly, as these are the two biggest weapons in the fight against gum disease and the best tools to promote oral health. However, when simple treatments will not do, there are other procedures that have proven effective in curing damaged and infected gums.
Lasers are a new element recently introduced to the world of dental care, however, they are proving extremely effective with both dentists and patients. Reducing the amount of post-operative pain and swelling, as well as the need for pain medication and aiding dentists in performing more precise procedures, lasers offer a range of functionality previously unheard of. An additional benefit is that the laser kills the microorganisms (bacteria) that cause the infection, making treatment more effective. Additional and more traditional methods of treating gum disease include dental implants and periodontal surgery. When Dr. Feldman welcomes a new patient to his practice it is his primary goal to best determine the most prudent treatment option taking into account all related factors. The same treatment will not work for everyone and Dr. Feldman is highly aware of the individuality of every mouth.
