Good Afternoon from Dr. Pasch, Dr. Yam, Dr. Shirzadnia and Dr. Song!
A recent study of the clinicians from the University of California in San Francisco (UCSF) suggested that the teeth roots are significantly shorter in people with Asian origin, which automatically predisposes them to higher risk of developing periodontal disease. Previously, the reason given for the higher incidence of periodontal involvement in Asians was attributed to poor hygiene, however this study rules this out as the cause and confirms that Asians are genetically predisposed to develop periodontal disease. Regular preventative care in these patients is of ultimate importance to maintaine healthy gums. If you are periodontally involved or if it has been a while since your last hygiene visit, please call us at 212-689-0024 or email us at appts@newyorkdenturedental.com to schedule an appointment with our hygienists - Paola and Alicia today!
We hope to see you soon,
