Gum Care in Fort Lee, NJ & Surrounding Area

We prioritize our patients’ oral health. Dr. Jontahan Odinsky has an excellent periodontal program to help you avoid tooth loss and maintain healthier bone levels. For patients at risk of or who have developed periodontal disease, we offer gentle, comprehensive gum care and soft tissue treatments to restore their smiles and oral health.

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a degenerative condition caused by harmful bacteria in your mouth. When the bacteria infect and inflame the gum tissues, they can cause significant damage to your oral health. If left untreated, the gum tissue may start to recede, eventually leading to tooth and bone loss.
