Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss. Gum disease has two primary stages. If diagnosed and treated in the first stage, the condition can be reversed and tooth loss can usually be prevented. In order to prevent gum disease,practice good oral hygiene and visit your dentist for cleanings and check-ups twice a year.
This stage only affects the soft tissue of the gums, and the patient may not experience any discomfort. Although the symptoms may be very mild, it is important to diagnose gum disease in this early stage before it progresses to periodontitis.
Periodontitis is the name for more advanced periodontal disease and if permitted to progress to this point, not only the gums are affected but the bone structures supporting the teeth will be compromised.
A build-up of bacteria causes Gingivitis. In its early stages, inflammation around the gums is observable, with gum tissues appearing red and swollen. Gums that are easily irritated or that bleed during tooth brushing indicate the presence of Gingivitis. Removal of the plaque buildup is necessary to prevent the development of gum disease.
As the gums become more inflamed, they start to pull away from the teeth, forming spaces known as periodontal pockets. Food, bacteria, and plaque begin to collect in the pockets, leading to infection. The surrounding bone becomes damaged both by bacterial toxins and by the immune systemsresponse to infection.

Absolutely the best practice. I became a patient right after I became pregnant with my first child. They are always extremely accommodating and made sure I got the right care during my pregnancy. Few people know or educate women on what happens to your teeth and gums while pregnant, they made sure I followed a solid care plan to keep my mouth healthy throughout my pregnancy. Being a patient there feels like being a part of a family. The warmth, compassion and level of care is unparalleled to any other practice I've ever been to. My bite is now perfect and I can't say enough about how happy I am to be their patient.

Exceptional care! An extremely professional environment. I needed extensive treatment when I first came to this office. The care that I received saved my teeth. I cannot convey how grateful I am for Dr G, Victoria, and the entire staff at Crestwood Dental. Unparalleled treatment. Marge and Veronica run the office so efficiently. Extremely helpful processing claims and managing my appointments. So grateful for this practice!

I drive from Jersey City to go here, traffic can be quite bad during rush hours but well worth it. Super friendly and helpful staff, have some cool modern equipment that I haven't seen at other dental practices. Dr. Ragoza has helped me with gum inflammation, advised on wisdom teeth extraction (I'm 46) and now helping me with Invisalign. I look forward to a healthier dental condition and nicer smile.

Having had a few nightmarish experiences at multiple different dental offices in Westchester. I pretty much gave up on getting any dental work but that's all changed. I've had a broken tooth repaired, fillings redone and couple cleanings. Dr Graziano and his staff make you feel so comfortable and welcomed.

Dr. Graziano is hands down the BEST dentist in Westchester!! About a decade ago, while living in the NYC, I had a botched dental procedure and was in so much pain. I finally broke down and took my now husband's advice to make the trek to Westchester to visit his dentist who he claimed was AMAZING! I used to think he was crazy for not just finding a dentist in the city but now I know why! It's the best advice I've ever received! Frank really is as amazing as my husband said he was! He was able to fix my dental problems (and I had a lot!) and my teeth are in a much better place now :-) He is also super knowledgeable, constantly keeping up with the latest technology and dental techniques. His office is immaculate and his staff is extremely warm and friendly. There really is no one better. I highly recommend him

I travel all the way from Connecticut because Dr Graziano and his staff offer the highest quality dental care available. He uses modern state of the Art equipment (like non abrasive laser cleanings) in a clean sterile office with a very knowledgeable staff. Doctor graduated from Columbia dental school and his practice is family owned and operated offering a very personal experience. Marge, the office manager is friendly and efficient in scheduling and there is never a wait. Doctor and his lovely assistant Alexis kept me calm and relaxed the whole time with their good humor and great music. I can see why he has won the Best Dentist Award. Thanks for giving me my smile and confidence back. Art
