Comfort Dental Receives Professional Excellence Award

Farmington Hills, Michigan (I-Newswire) January 28, 2011 - Farmington Hills, MI: The Orkos Award by Perio Protect, LLC, is an annual award that recognizes exceptional contributions in the fight against gum disease. Estimates show, about 85% of Americans over age 35 have some form of gum disease, and it causes most of the tooth loss in US adults. Recent research links gum disease with more than poor oral health and tooth loss. The condition also increases a person’s risk for heart attack, stroke, diabetes complications, low-weight or preterm birth, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, osteoporosis, and other systemic health conditions. The former US Surgeon General deemed periodontal disease a silent epidemic.

In many cases, patients who have gum disease require a deep cleaning, with scaling and root planing every three to six months until the condition subsides. This invasive procedure often requires local anesthetic to keep the patient comfortable. In three case studies recognized by her Orkos Award, Dr. Aziza administered Perio Protect. This non-invasive periodontal treatment relies on customized prescription mouth trays worn at home instead of scaling and root planing. The results of Dr. Aziza’s case studies and others are available at www.theorkosaward.com/studies.html.
