Periodontal disease according to The Guinness Book of world records is the most common infectious disease affecting mankind. The surgeon General has estimated that 80% of adult Americans have some form of gum disease. Healthcare costs could be reduced by focusing on the mouth. Medical insurance companies are saying we can save 4 to 1. That is, for every dollar invested in dental care they are saving $4 in medical costs.

The cost for treating diabetes is around $174 billion in the U.S. annually. Extrapolate what Columbia University and Aetna Medical found in their research that costs for diabetes care could be reduced by as much as 16 percent by treating gum disease. Take into consideration the Surgeon Generals estimate that gum disease affects approximately 80 percent of the U.S. population. Thus the potential savings by treating gum disease are approximately $22 billion.

This does not include the savings for cardiovascular disease, a probable savings of 11 percent, or another 9 percent for cerebral vascular disease or stroke. The same Aetna and Columbia University studies found that treating gum disease can reduce preterm low birth-weight babies by 50 percent. Preterm low birth-weight births account for more than 12 percent of all births, $13 billion annually in hospitalizations and uncounted social costs since babies born prematurely often require years of care. The whole total of dental expenditures in the U.S is approximately $75 billion annually. Only 3%, according to Dental Insurance statistics, is spent on periodontal disease. In other words only $2 Billion is spent on gum disease annually.

The important thing to take from this is to know your periodontal score. Unfortunately, gum disease does not hurt. When you visit your dentist make sure your gum pockets are being measured. The dentist needs to take six measurements per tooth. This score has been shown to be more important to your general health than your cholesterol level, body mass index, or blood pressure.

Remember that your gums should never bleed when you brush and floss thoroughly, no more than your hands should bleed when you wash them.
A new breakthrough in the treatment of Gum disease is Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure LANAP. The Laser has been found to regenerate the attachment around the tooth.

Just finished a seminar in LANAP. Was very impressed on the possibilities of a would be full mouth extraction case turned into a salvaged non extraction case. Loved the idea that DDS can save teeth vs extract teeth. To my fellow DDS, with an open mind, check it out. I am this close into buying the machine. The studies are all in place.

@4njk If you are considering purchasing the Periolase, know that the LANAP periolase package goes up $10,000 the day before the AAP's annual meeting 11-11-11. The reason is that those who have asked for more science will have to pay for it. Nevin's will be presenting his new Human Histological findings. Stay tuned!

Laser Periodontist what wavelength are you using?

[07boxster2]

very misleading. of course the teeth are "firm" after the splinting was done.doesn't mean that it's a healthy situation. i'd like to see the radiographs because it wouldn't surprise me that after hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars the prognosis is still unchanged. ie. it's pretty bad. over the time that they claim they've been successful it wouldn't surprise me to see deteriorating bone levels which will compromise any future treatment.

@07boxster2 Just a Periodontist in Canada, Could it be that you have been misleading your patients? Do you know? You do not know what you do not know? You said " i'd like to see the radiographs" They have been published in the Prestigious Peer Reviewed Dental Journal "Compendium"

glad his teeth are ok.

[blackdog8188]

it looks like there's still calculus left on some of the teeth...so the bone loss will just continue :/

[11levo]

I'm sure those teeth are firm because of composite splinting not because of bone repair or new-healthy periodontium.. I'm just another Periodontist who uses laser too :-)
