LANAP: Saving Lives One Tooth at a Time

April 23, 2018

Dr. Oshidar and Dr. Rodriguez are officially certified LANAP providers! Saving lives one tooth at a time!!!

An FDA-cleared laser treatment, LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is the newest innovation in treating gum disease, allowing for the targeted removal of diseased periodontal tissue without removing any surrounding healthy tissue.

Why Choose LANAP? Have you refused treatment out of fear? Or is there a chance you might have gum disease and do not even know it?

  • Gum Disease affects 85% of US Adults 40% of whom don’t even know they have gum disease.
  • Only 3% of those with moderate to severe gum disease accept traditional treatment.

LANAP equals Laser Assisted Regeneration (LAR). The LANAP protocol offers a less painful, more successful treatment alternative to conventional surgery. LANAP=LAR is the only scientifically, research proven methodology that results in true periodontal regeneration, new bone growth, and gum tissue reattachment.

The LANAP=LAR treatment is one – of the most successful protocols in treating gum disease because it can:

  • Target the source of the inflammation without hurting or removing any healthy gum tissue
  • Slow or stop attachment loss and decrease pocket depth
  • Allow the body to recover from the chronic infection without the need for scalpel or sutures

We are so excited to offer LANAP at Roselle Park Dental! Learn more on our Website at www.roselleparkdental.com or call us today at 908-998-4698 to find out if LANAP is right for you.

Good Gum Health = Good Whole-Body Health

April 5, 2018

If you are battling gum disease, gingivitis or periodontitis – you are not alone. Come join us at Roselle Park Dental in the fight against gum disease!

Inflammation caused by this disease puts patients at a greater risk of stroke, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Gum disease can also worsen conditions such as COPD and may play a role in the contraction of pneumonia, bronchitis, and emphysema. Gum disease is very common, yet moderately preventable.

Prevention starts here! Prevention starts now! Routine professional cleanings and exams – in addition to routine flossing – are imperative in the prevention of gum disease. Developing a relationship with your hygienist and dentist is vital, not only for your oral health, but for your whole-body health as well.

If you do not have a dental home, join us here at Roselle Park Dental. Give our office a call at 908-998-4698 and set up your dental exam and cleaning today.

What is your favorite sport?
When I was in high school, I liked aerobics and basketball. In college, I tried yoga and jogging. Now, I jog and bike.

Have you ever had a favorite a pet?
When I was a kid, we had a cat called Princes and a dog named Jerry. Now I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Her name is Lulu. In February, she will be two years old. I love her to death.

What is your favorite activity when you are not working?
I like to spend my time outdoors: hiking, biking, playing with my dog, jogging, and I also like to travel.

Why did you choose to become a dental professional?
Since I myself had issues with teeth in the past, I wanted to know more about them and oral health. So, now that I know more about all that, I want to share my knowledge with people. Oral health affects our overall health. So I want to help people to feel good not only about their teeth and smile, but also to become healthier. It is very rewarding to me to see positive changes.
