Gum or periodontal disease is caused by a buildup of bacteria on the teeth and gum line. Not only does gum disease affect your dental health, it is linked to other health problems including diabetes and heart disease. At Family Dental Rego Park, we take your oral health seriously and want to provide the most advanced options for dental care.</p><br /><p>We are happy to offer our patients Arestin as part of a comprehensive periodontal program. Arestin (minocycline hydrochloride) is an antibiotic. It is used in conjunction with scaling and root planing. The antibiotic, which comes in a powder form, is placed in pockets of the gums, which are infected with periodontal disease. The powder dissolves, so there is no need for removal.</p><br /><p>Arestin helps treat the problem where it starts by destroying bacteria and reducing infection, which leads to gum disease. Although oral antibiotics are sometimes given to treat gum disease, Arestin is placed directly where you need it.</p><br /><p>Dr. Binod Verma and Dr. Supriya Verma and their staff at Family Dental Rego Park take pride in providing the best possible dental care for you and your entire family. We offer a wide variety of dental services including preventative, restorative and cosmetic services.</p><br /><p>For more information on the benefits of Arestin or in order to make an appointment, please call our office at (718) 699-8268.</p>Family Dental Rego Parkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04058367639384097839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529479188165850619.post-84588957330314141412015-04-21T12:31:00.001-07:002015-04-21T12:31:30.984-07:00Simplant<p>Whether performing regular cleanings or placing dental implants, at Family Dental Rego Park, we care about providing our patients with the best and most comfortable dental care we can. One of the ways we do this is by using state-of-the-art technology that enhances our procedures. One treatment technology we use is the Simplant system, an interactive, 3D system that determines the position of each dental implant with 100 percent accuracy. With this system, Dr. Binod Verma and Dr. Supriya Verma are able to place each implant as precisely as possible, eliminating discomfort.</p><br /><p>Simplant implant treatment planning software gives your dentist the ability to access three-dimensional information that helps him coordinate every aspect of implant placement and care. By obtaining accurate information on the width and density of your jawbone, the exact location of neighboring tooth roots and the location of the nerves with Simplant, the dentist can ensure the procedure is more comfortable and more effective at restoring your smile and retaining your oral health.</p><br /><p>With the precise information provided by the Simplant system, your dentist is able to plan the ideal location for your dental implants and achieve the best outcome. They will also be able to show you exactly how your new teeth will look before treatment even begins.</p><br /><p>To schedule an appointment at Family Dental Rego Park in Elmhurst, NY, call (718) 699-8268.

Some of these people grind their teeth or clench their jaw consciously throughout the day, but an even greater number do so at night while sleeping. Many of our patients who grind at night do not even realize that they do it until the results of the behavior give the condition away. If you grind your teeth, you will often experience damage to your enamel, as well as jaw pain, headaches and gum irritation. To protect your teeth, you must seek treatment, and Family Dental Rego Park, we find that night guards are the best way to prevent bruxism’s negative effects.</p><br /><p>Similar to those worn by athletes, night guards provide a barrier between your top and bottom teeth when you sleep. By reducing wear to your teeth and making it harder for you to grind, your teeth will be healthier and you will feel better overall. We custom fit these night guards to make them as comfortable as possible. To fit you with a night guard, we will take an impression of your teeth to send to our dental lab for fabrication. Night guards created in a lab are very durable and can last for up to 10 years.</p><br /><p>If you find yourself frequently waking up with headaches or pain in your jaw, it is very possible that you grind in your sleep. Often those who do not treat their bruxism end up with TMJ, and they can even change the appearance of their face.</p><br /><p>To diagnose and treat your night grinding, call (718) 699-8268 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Binod Verma or Dr. Supriya Verma.

When this happens, your teeth become more susceptible to disease and decay. At Family Dental Rego Park, we can help keep your smile beautiful and functional after an extraction with dental bridges.</p><br /><p>Called a bridge because it literally creates a bridge to cross the area where you tooth is missing, this prosthetic tooth replacement is usually made from gold, metal, alloys or porcelain to ensure a strong and durable smile that can last more than a decade if properly cared for.</p><br /><p>The process of creating a bridge takes two visits to our office. In the first, we will create abutments out of the existing teeth on both sides of your missing tooth. This is where the bridge will be attached. After the abutments are in place, a mold is made of your mouth for creating the bridge, which will fit and feel as close to your natural teeth as possible. The bridge will consist of two crowns, which will be fixed to the abutments, and a pontic, which is the prosthetic that will replace your missing tooth. We provide you with a temporary bridge while your permanent one is crafted in the lab. On the second visit, the permanent bridge will then be fixed to the abutments with an adhesive.</p><br /><p>For more information, call our office in Elmhurst, NY by calling (718) 699-8268.

Electric tools, which are what we use, are much stronger than air-driven ones because a motor is used to spin the bur, not air. With a stronger force created, our dentist is able to remove decay more quickly and cut down on the amount of time needed for a procedure. Often used to prepare teeth for restorative procedures, electric handpieces offer many benefits.</p><br /><p>Whether you are getting a filling, crown, bridge or inlay/onlay, we are dedicated to providing the best dental care possible with state-of-the-art tools. By using the best equipment in all his dental procedures, the dentist ensures that all his patients are comfortable and their oral health is well cared for.</p><br /><p>To schedule an appointment with our office, call (718) 699-8268.

Often called partial crowns, both inlays and onlays strengthen the tooth while restoring its shape and working to prevent further damage. At our office in Elmhurst, NY, we use these procedures to repair teeth when decay is too extensive to support a filling but not extensive enough to use a crown.</p><br /><p>When there is no damage to the cusps of a tooth, Dr. Binod Verma and Dr. Suriya Verma will use an inlay for restoration, bonding it right on top of the tooth. Made of porcelain, inlays are both strong and natural-looking, providing an attractive solution to repairing your tooth. Onlays are used when damage is a little more extensive and are used to repair part of the cusp of the tooth.</p><br /><p>Inlays and onlays can be created at a lab out of porcelain, gold or composite resin. Fabrication normally takes between two to three weeks, and during that time, you will be provided with temporary restorations while you wait. Once they are ready, they will be cemented in place.</p><br /><p>To ensure that your teeth get the best dental care available, schedule an appointment with our office by calling (718) 699-8268.

If you have a missing tooth, it may make you feel self-conscious, but it can also have a negative effect on other teeth. Leaving a space from a missing tooth can lead to other teeth shifting. At Family Dental Rego Park, we are happy to offer you options when it comes to replacing missing teeth including mini implants. Similar to traditional implants, mini implants involve creating a post, which is inserted into the jaw bone. The post supports a restoration, such as a crown or bridge.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
A mini implant is smaller than a traditional implant and requires less recovery time. The treatment process is also quicker than a conventional implant. Since the implant is smaller than a traditional implant, it works best on incisors. Small teeth of the lower jaw may also be replaced using a mini implant.</div>

Our experienced dentists here at Family Dental Rego Park will be happy to evaluate your situation and determine if you are a good candidate for a mini implant. Individuals who are not a candidate for a mini implant may still be able to replace a missing tooth with a conventional implant.</div>

Most women know how vital it is that they take good care of their physical health, but often don’t consider the impact oral health has on their overall health. A surge in hormones can exasperate the way a pregnant woman’s gums react to plaque. As a result, there is an increased risk of tooth decay, loose teeth, and gum disease if proper oral hygiene isn’t maintained.</div>

If you have bleeding gums, it is most likely due to having a form of gum disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, half of the adults in the U.S. have periodontal disease, which is a more severe form of gum disease.</div>

Having missing teeth is often embarrassing and frustrating. It keeps patients from being comfortable with smiling, but it also makes it difficult to do other normal everyday routine , like talking and eating. .</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
The Dental implants resembles and functions like natural teeth and it prevents patients from being embrassed by loose denture, as jaw bone continuouly dissolves under pressure of Denture and natural process of Bone loss due to missing teeth. patients have the opportunity to replace their missing teeth with Dental Implant without having to get Dentures or Dental bridges. Dental implants are done by inserting the body of Implant in the Jaw bone which is usually made of Titanium . Depending on the quality of Bone and the patient's need , the implant body can be immediately restored with Implant Abutment and Crown or left to heal for 4/5 months to integrate and then restored . From beginning to end, dental implants in our practice take 3-6 months and 2-3 visits. . The Implant retained Teeth restoration is cost effective because , it minimizes the speed of Bone loss and prevents any damage to adjacemt teeth . If the missing teeth is repalced by Partial Denture , it causes decay and loosenes of the adjacent tooth holding the paretial denture. Other method of restoring missing teerth is by Fixed bridge. In order for fabricating Fixed Bridge , Abutment tooth to hold the Bridge needs to be grinded to place a crown and the missing tooth is joined to the abutment tooth with another Crown called Pontic. The Abutment tooth of Fixed Bridge almost always gets deacyed and develpoes Periodontal disease ( The reson being because Patient is not meticulous in cleaning under the Fixed bridge) . The decayed and Periodontally affected Abutment teeth at last needs to be extracted and the another bridge needs to be fabricated by grinding another set of present teeth . With Dental implant , the restoration last longer with proper care .</div>

At Family Dental Rego Park, we offer essential dental services to improve their oral health, including extractions. Extractions are needed for many different reasons: because a tooth has become infection, an orthodontic treatment requires a tooth to be removed, or a wisdom tooth is causing problems with the other teeth. We offer quality oral extraction surgery that keeps the patient’s comfort level in mind.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
After the extraction is complete, our Elmhurst, NY practice, dentists Dr. Binod Verma and Dr. Supriya Verma give the following post-surgery instructions:</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
1. Eat only soft foods for the first few days, such as yogurt, pudding, ice cream, and gelatin.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
2. Never drink with a straw as it can dislodge the sutures and blood clot, resulting in dry socket.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
3. Take all recommended medications, including pain relievers and antibiotics.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
4. Avoid smoking cigarettes during the healing process.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Many patients feel nervous when getting extractions performed, but they are necessary in many cases. We use whatever anesthesia the patient feels more comfortable with, including general anesthesia where a patient isn’t conscious during the procedure. We can also pull more than one tooth at a time with general anesthesia, so they don’t need to return for another extraction.</div>

Extraction site preservation is the term used for planning ahead and involves what will be done once a tooth has been extracted. If a front tooth or molar is removed, it leaves the teeth susceptible to shifting. This happens when the jawbone begins degenerating due to the loss of the tooth and root, where it changes shape during the healing process. As this happens, other nearby teeth begins to shift and can cause misalignment and bite problems. Dr. Binod Verma makes sure to prevent this complication through extraction site preservation.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Here is a brief overview of how extraction site preservation works:</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
1. Dr. Verma informs the patient of the problem with their extraction site.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
2. He goes over their options, such as a bridge, partial denture or dental implant.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
3. Planning begins for the replacement treatment even before the extraction is completed.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
4. As soon as the tooth is removed and begins healing, the dentist prepares the preservation of the extraction site.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
By following these simple steps, our patients preserve their extraction site so they avoid complications as a result of the missing tooth. This is not necessary when wisdom teeth are removed because they are located in the very back of the mouth.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

At Family Dental Rego Park, it is our mission to help our patients feel as comfortable as possible during their appointments. Among the sedation methods we provide,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.familydentalregopark.com/nitrous-oxide/" mce_href="http://www.familydentalregopark.com/nitrous-oxide/">nitrous oxide</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>is one of the most commonly used.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Nitrous oxide, also called laughing gas, is given by placing a mask over their nose, which is how the patient inhales the non-flammable gas. It has very minimal odor and taste, but is not foul. There are no detrimental side effects or risks tied to nitrous oxide, as well as no known allergy responses. It is safe for patients of all ages, and helps the patient relax more during their procedures.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Another benefit to nitrous oxide is that it wears off almost immediately, so patients are free to drive after the appointment and return to their normal activities right away. Nitrous oxide is offered to patients for a variety of procedures, like root canals, extractions, deep cleaning or other periodontal procedures, fillings and even routine cleanings. Patients with dental anxiety find that it takes the edge off successfully.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

Call Dr. Binod Verma at 718-699-8268 to discuss using nitrous oxide for your next appointment.</div>

Dental hygiene and periodontal health is important to us at Family Dental Rego Park, which is why we encourage proper dental hygiene to all of our patients. Good dental hygiene, brushing the teeth twice a day, flossing once a day, and visiting us every six months for a check-up and cleaning is a great start. It helps prevent cavities, infections and tooth decay, and lets us find problems early, in addition to giving the patient fresh-smelling breath and a beautiful smile.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Periodontal health is also important, which deals with the risk of gum disease. If a patient develops gum disease, it can advance to the more serious periodontal disease without proper treatment. One of the reasons we like to schedule dental visits for our patients twice a year is so we can perform an examination to look for signs of gum disease. Without treatment, it can lead to loss of bone, deep infections, necessary extractions, and loose teeth.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Aside from these recommendations, not consuming a high amount of sugar, and avoiding smoking cigarettes also make a positive impact on the dental hygiene and periodontal health of our patients.</div>

Did you know that we provide our Family Dental Rego Park patients with the modern orthodontic option Invisalign?</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Invisalign is a great way to cosmetically straighten your smile without having to commit to the appearance and lifestyle changes that are needed in the case of tradition braces or other form of conventional orthodontics. These clear plastic tooth aligners are discreet, comfortable and flexible.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Invisalign works by incrementally adjusting the alignment of your teeth while remaining inconspicuous. You can easily remove the aligners for meals, brushing and flossing, as well as dental exams and cleaning. Once your treatment period is complete, you can enjoy a cosmetically straightened smile and the confidence that comes with it.</div>

Most people have never heard of the temporomandibular joint, but they have heard of ‘TMJ’. This acronym is associated with the hinge joint that connects the temporal bone of the skull to the lower jaw. Some people have a condition known as TMD, or temporamandibular disorder, which relates to problems of the jaw, jaw joint, and/or surrounding muscles of the face.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
If you hear a clicking or popping sound upon opening your mouth, grind your teeth at night, have headaches, experience ear pain, have chewing difficulties, or have a jaw that gets stuck shut or open, there's a good chance that you may be experiencing TMD. Some of these symptoms, like teeth grinding, for example, can be especially problematic because they can lead to tooth enamel erosion and exposed dentin. This means that your teeth will be sensitive to hot or cold foods and beverages.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Luckily, here at Family Dental Rego Park, we have treatment options for TMD. For instance, we can customize a night guard for you to use to prevent or reduce the detrimental effects of your teeth grinding at night. TMD treatment solutions include:</div>
<ul style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<li>Night guards</li>
<li>Physical therapy and jaw exercises</li>
<li>Lifestyle and behavior counseling</li>
<li>Pain relievers and other medications</li>
</ul>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
If you think Invisalign might be suffering from TMJ, call us at (718) 699-8268 and schedule an appointment with Dr. Bishod Verma or Dr. Supriya Verma.</div>

At Family Dental Rego Park in Elmhurst, NY, wisdom teeth extractions are fairly common. As your third and final set of molars to come in, they usually emerge when you are between 17 and 21 years old. Since these teeth can often become impacted, which is when they come in at an angle rather than straight through the gums, it is often necessary to remove them before they cause pain or begin to push your other teeth.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
If a wisdom tooth is impacted and can only emerge partially, it is possible for an operculum to develop over the tooth. This flap of skip can make the tooth hard to clean, which means it is more likely to become infected. This infection is called pericoronitis.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
When a wisdom tooth is in danger of causing such problems, either Dr. Binod Verma or Dr. Supriya Verma will extract the tooth. Often it is necessary to remove all four wisdom teeth at once. This is done either by using a local anesthetic or a general anesthetic, based on the preferences of the doctor and patient. After the anesthetic is applied, the gum tissue around the wisdom tooth is cut and the tooth is wiggled loose and pulled out. If necessary, the gums will be sutured for healing.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
After the surgery, rest is required, and you will need to change the gauze that is applied to the incision. </div>

Not many people know that their local dentist might just be their best solution when it comes to the treatment of sleep apnea. Dentists play an important role in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Specific therapy for sleep apnea is tailored to the individual needs of each patient based on their medical history, physical examination and results from different testing. Our dentist, Dr. Binod Verma has trained extensively in the management and treatment of sleep apnea and offers innovative treatment options to his patients.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Sleep apnea is a very common condition that is treatable. Traditionally, sleep apnea affects men over the age of forty, but it can be diagnosed in almost anyone, including children. There are different types of sleep apnea, but obstructive sleep apnea is the most commonly diagnosed and treated by dentists. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the soft tissue in the back of the throat relaxes during sleep and blocks the airways. If left untreated, breathing becomes interrupted or very slow during sleep. Sleep apnea is a serious condition that can lead to heart attack, stroke, mental confusion, rise in blood pressure and sleepiness during daytime.</div>

</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Patients suffering from sleep apnea will often report the following symptoms:</div>
<ul style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<li>Waking up with a sore or dry mouth</li>
<li>Loud snoring</li>
<li>Sleepiness</li>
<li>Morning headaches</li>
<li>Restless sleep</li>
</ul>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
There are many different treatment options for those suffering from sleep apnea. Dr. Verma treats his patients using oral appliances and oral surgery. Through procedures like osseous surgery or osseous grafting, Dr. Verma is able to lessen the symptoms of sleep apnea. These procedures are done in order to prevent snoring and discontinue any sleep apnea side effects.</div>

Oral cancer is a type of cancer that often goes unnoticed because it has very few signs and symptoms that patients notice. This is why our team at Family Dental Rego Park performs oral cancer screenings during each routine visit here in our Elmhurst, NY office.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

Patients who use tobacco and drink alcohol regularly are at a greatly increased risk for oral cancer. While drinking and tobacco use are most often associated with oral cancer, there is a new demographic developing in the field, oral cancer is now being connected to human papillomavirus, also known as HPV. Oral cancer can appear anywhere in the oral cavity. It is most often found:</div>
<ul style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<li>On the lips</li>

It is very important for everyone to have an oral cancer screening at least once a year, especially those who use tobacco or drink regularly. Dr. Binod Verma and Dr. Supriya Verma are able to incorporate oral cancer screenings into regular check-ups and cleanings. During this quick procedure, your doctor will inspect your nose, mouth and throat. He will also examine the skin on the head and neck regions, feeling for lumps in the neck area as well.</div>

The ability to detect oral cancer early is a great tool for our doctors. They are able to identify and pinpoint the start of a potential problem much earlier in its evolution thanks to advances in modern technology. Individuals who have regular cleanings at least twice a year, are much more likely to have problems detected early as their oral condition is documented with each visit. If you haven’t had an oral cancer screening recently, or ever, contact us directly at 718-699-8268 to schedule an appointment for this important preventative screening.</div>

We work hard to provide our patients with the most technologically advanced treatment options available. One of the best tools we utilize is the Panorex system that takes incredible 360 degree images of your teeth, head, sinuses and bones. This xray is about 25% enlarged than the actual size of teeth. This also provides information about many vital anatomy of the Upper and Lower jaw in one Panoramic Xray. Our Elmhurst, NY area patients are enjoying the benefits from having their Wisdom teeth removed, and are able to know whether they are a candidate of Dental implant in areas of missing teeth. Panoramic xray is good tool in the treament planing of patients .</div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
With this technology, we are able to view the full structure of your head. This is great because we are now able to see any potential problems more clearly. We will also be able to see whether or not your mouth and jaw is functioning correctly. The Panorex is capable of viewing specific structural problems, infections and asymmetry any asymmetry in the area. </div>

If you haven’t had a Panorex X-Ray before, you’re going to be surprised how simple and safe it is. We’ll give you a lead apron to protect you from the radiation (digital X-rays emit up to 80% less radiation than traditional systems), but you’ll be standing rather than sitting. A camera will rotate in a half circle around your head, starting at one side of the jaw and ending at the other. The imaging only about 20 seconds and the images are available at the same visit. </div>

Not many people know that their local dentist might just be their best solution when it comes to the treatment of sleep apnea. Dentists play an important role in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. Specific therapy for sleep apnea is tailored to the individual needs of each patient based on their medical history, physical examination and results from different testing. Our dentist, Dr. Binod Verma has trained extensively in the management and treatment of sleep apnea and offers innovative treatment options to his patients.</div>

Sleep apnea is a very common condition that is treatable. Traditionally, sleep apnea affects men over the age of forty, but it can be diagnosed in almost anyone, including children. There are different types of sleep apnea, but obstructive sleep apnea is the most commonly diagnosed and treated by dentists. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when the soft tissue in the back of the throat relaxes during sleep and blocks the airways. If left untreated, breathing becomes interrupted or very slow during sleep. Sleep apnea is a serious condition that can lead to heart attack, stroke, mental confusion, rise in blood pressure and sleepiness during daytime.</div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Patients suffering from sleep apnea will often report the following symptoms:</div>
<ul style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<li>Waking up with a sore or dry mouth</li>
<li>Loud snoring</li>
<li>Sleepiness</li>
<li>Morning headaches</li>
<li>Restless sleep</li>
</ul>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
There are many different treatment options for those suffering from sleep apnea. Dr. Verma treats his patients using oral appliances and oral surgery. Through procedures like osseous surgery or osseous grafting, Dr. Verma is able to lessen the symptoms of sleep apnea. These procedures are done in order to prevent snoring and discontinue any sleep apnea side effects.</div>

Did you know that it’s possible to treat bleeding gums and periodontal disease non-surgically with our soft tissue laser? Lasers allow us to perform more accurate procedures, in less time, with less pain, and little to no anesthetic. The diode laser we use seals off blood vessels and nerve endings, preventing bleeding. The laser also reduces pain and swelling inside your mouth.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
So how does this innovative technology work? The laser technology we use is monochromatic, or consisting of just one color. The monochromatic light allows the laser to be set at a certain wavelength to attract certain molecules in the gum tissue. The molecules we are searching for are made of water and melanin. The laser light dissolves the necrosed and inflammed tissue and disinfects the area affected by bone loss around teeth.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Soft-tissue laser treatment is a safe and effective way to treat gum disease. Traditional methods involve painful, invasive surgery. A laser allows a non-surgical approach, killing bacteria and removing diseased tissue with little to no discomfort. Laser treatments allow better healing and regeneration of healthy tissues.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
If you are interested in repairing damaged gums with soft-laser treatment, please give our office a call and set up an appointment. If you leave your bleeding gums untreated, it can evolve to gum disease and ultimately lead to tooth loss. </div>

Patients that are looking for a non-invasive, reversible, affordable approach to restorative and cosmetic dentistry are excellent candidates for Snap-On-Smile. The procedure is quick and effective, making it a great option for patients who want to look and feel better. At Family Dental Rego Park, we construct new smiles for our patients every day using this innovative technology.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Snap-On Smile is a comfortable, removable dental application that uses the patients existing tooth structure to improve their smile. The device is made from a durable and stain resistant acetyl resin and is can be up to .5mm thin without compromising strength. Dr. Verma collaborates with you in order to determine what shade and style you are hoping for.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
The procedure is quite simple. Dr. Verma will take photos and impressions of your teeth. The molds are sent to a dental lab where the Snap-On Smile appliance is created in about two weeks. Once the device is ready, Dr. Verma will explain the insertion and removal process and basic maintenance procedures. From there, you will be able to enjoy a new-look smile that you can be proud of. Snap-On Smile is a great solution for patients who are unable to receive permanent improvements, such as crowns, veneers and implants because they are medically compromised.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Typically, our patients do not experience any adverse effects from their Snap-On Smile. Patients are not limited to what they can eat and drink, though right after the procedure it is recommended that patients begin with a soft-food diet. Speech is not affected by these custom-fit appliances either. Patients may experience some trouble within the first couple hours of their procedure, but this varies by patient and often diminishes quickly.</div>

Tempormanidbular joint (TMJ) disorder is a condition that affects many Americans. The tempormandibiular joint connects your lower jaw to your skull at the temporal bone. This joint controls many jaw functions and any pain in this area may cause jaw joint muscle problems, known as temporamandibular disorder (TMD). We treat many of our patients suffering from TMJ with procedures like occlusal adjustments and bone grafting.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Symptoms of TMD are wide-ranging. Patients will often feel pain when opening or closing their mouth, trouble chewing food, their jaw will become stuck, headaches are quite common and patients will often hear clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing their mouth. These symptoms can be associated with a lot of other health problems; patients should consult a medical professional, such as a dentist will allow for a proper diagnosis.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; letter-spacing: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Treatment for TMD can go many different ways. Pain relievers and hot/cold compresses are short term methods and often do not solve the problems. Another possible treatment for TMD would be wearing a night mouth guard, this will lessen the effects of teeth grinding that can cause TMD. More permanent solutions include possible surgery in severe cases, but behavioral treatments to change the way the jaw muscles are used can be enough to solve the problem permanently. </div>
