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.

I started coming to Dentistry of Mendham after my dentist of several decades retired. The idea of changing dental practices after so long was scary but Dr. Rajan came highly recommended and he and the staff are amazing and provide excellent care. I'd recommend anyone looking for a new practice to come here.

Dr. Rajan came highly recommended and his work speaks for itself! I had traumatic dental trauma as a child and have had terrible anxiety going to the dentist since that time. Dr. Rajan and his staff were compassionate and understanding, making me feel at ease and comfortable every step of the process. Dr. Rajan uses modern, digital technology to craft beautiful aesthetic designs that are second to none in this field. His bedside manner matches his skill. I couldn't have made it through without the reassurance and kindness of his assistant Robin. Dr. Rajan developed a treatment plan that was most ideal for me and subsequent plans that were timely based on my desire to have work completed prior to my wedding. I am blown away at the timeliness and precision with which this was executed to not only complete before my wedding but before my bridal shower. Thanks to this office, I smile much bigger and confidently! Thank you for giving me my smile back!

It has been over two years since my original review but I felt compelled to add based on my most recent visit, just how CARING and COMPASSIONATE Robin, the dental assistant is. In her own words, this is the work she is meant to do, and it shines through in every moment. And, I can say the same about Dr Rajan, this truly seems to be his calling. To be in the presence of those in resonance with their work and the recipient of it, is truly amazing. I have a deep sense of trust in their care. It is clear Dr Rajan and his team are passionate about what they do. He is always smiling and happy to see you. The team is always very helpful and caring. His clean modern office is filled with the most up to date technology that he always seems to be leading training on for other dentists. I had a lot of work done over several visits to correct a few issues. I not only trust the quality of his work but also his attention to detail, which is especially important when having work done to some of your most visible teeth.

I've been coming to Dr. Rajan since I was a kid and have always had a great experience. Before he moved his practice to Mendham, my entire family went to Dr. Rajan when he was in central Jersey. Luck had it that we all moved to Mendham around the same time and we were able to keep going! I now live in NYC but will still come home to see Dr. Rajan as he and his team continue to take great care of my family.

The people in this office are wonderful, kind and caring. The Dentist is ahead of his time with all the new technology , which makes everything quicker , more efficient and better attention to detail. My last dentist had a grouchy receptionist with no people skills and the dentist was unprofessional. So this was a breath of fresh air to say the least! I have transferred my whole family here and couldn't be happier! Dr.Rajan explains to you and shows you what he's talking about so there's never a question as to what is being said. They really treat you like family there and want whats best for their patient. Never pushy, just give you the straight information so you can do what you feel is best, not pushed on you. They also give you referrals if needed and have a great team network! Dr.Rajan even pointed something out that I had always worried about but was never addressed by any other dentist. I'm getting older and want to keep my teeth as long as I can and keep them healthy! The dental hygienist Sarah is gentle, yet thorough. I really could go on and on about how wonderful my experience was,but I will stop by saying, from the time you make that first phone call, to meeting the receptionist, dental assistant, hygienist and Doctor Rajan, it's the way a business,especially with patients , should be. Thank you for exceptional service Dentistry of Mendham! You can see how much y'all really care about people

The office is very professionally run. We had the pleasure of interacting with Cindy, Jen, Robin, Sara and Tina. All of them were wonderful. Dr. Rajan really thinks deeply about what he hopes to achieve with his practice. It's not a rushed appointment. He clearly values meaningful interactions with his patients. Overall my family and I were very happy with our visit.

Dr Rajan is extremely thorough and conscientious. The entire staff is terrific. I especially appreciate all of the COVID related precautions he and the staff have adopted. I value the care I receive from Dr Rajan so much that I followed him from his old practice to his current practice in Mendham. It's more than an hour from my home to visit his office but I never for a moment thought of finding a new dentist closer to home!

If I hadn't found Dr. Rajan and Robin, I would have avoided caring for my teeth at all. Not only is Dr. Rajan an excellent dentist, the care and comfort offered me as a frightened patient made all the difference in the world! It is an overall outstanding dental practice and I highly recommend Dr. Rajan .

Dr Rajan is a dentist I completely trust with my dental care. Not only he does his job exceptionally well, him and all staff are extremely friendly, and the office is equipped with the newest technology - almost every time I go there I see something new! They also have been keeping it super safe during Covid.

I did a lot of research before I picked a new Dentist. I got plenty of good feedback about Dr Rajan before I used his services. I am very happy with my choice and the quality of work he performs. I had a bad Dentist many years ago and had many problems. I found a great dentist and he retired, but showed me what good dentistry looks like. Since I found Dr Rajan 6-7 years ago I have inspected his work carefully and made him show me pictures of his work in detail. His work is flawless from everything I have seen. He also uses digital scanning techniques that make having a crown replaced or an implant and crown done a short and comfortable process. Nothing like the old days with trays of goop in your mouth waiting to harden. Just a scan of your teeth and then 2 weeks later a crown that usually fits perfectly on the first try. I whole heartedly recommend Dr. Rajan if you are looking for a new dentist that not only uses the latest technology he also teaches it.

I have been a patient of Dr. Naren Rajen of Dentistry of Mendham for over 6 years now. First recommended to me by a friend who was also dealing with sleep apnea, I was one of the earliest patients to be fitted for a dental device to stop snoring. The device was a life changer and now it's like a seatbelt - I don't go to sleep without it. Of course, I also have been a regular dental patient as well. The professionalism of the staff, the cleanliness of the office, the amazing hygienists and Dr. Rajen himself - I could go on. As long as I am living in the state of New Jersey, this will be the only dentist I ever go to. Highly recommend!
