Yen Dentistry and Implantology

We are happy to announce that we are open. Thank you all for your patience during this difficult time. I want my current clients and new clients to know that we have taken proactive steps to ensure a safe and clean environment. We have spaced out our clients as not to clutter the office to help maintain social distance as well as implement a stricter disinfection for our office. All patients are required to have a mask in the office. Temperatures will be taken with a touch-...less thermometer and also screened for COVID -19. Please be aware that all patients should come by themselves unless they require some assistance. UPGRADES We have upgraded our dental vacuum to double the power to help remove aerosols produced during certain dental procedures. We have also purchased medical grade air purifiers to clean the air at a high rate. https://medifyair.com/ We have purchased 3 MA-40 2.0s, which are medical grade filtration H13 True HEPA which can clean a 840 sq ft in 30 min. Our operatories are only 80-100 sq ft. These units filter down to .1 microns. Size of COVID particles are .12 microns. There is 1 unit in each operatory. In our waiting room we have the model MA-112. It is an extremely powerful air purifier able to clean 1,250 sq ft in 15 minutes. Our entire office is only 900 sq ft. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at 718-358-1200 or email us at [email protected] Welcome back.

I hope all my clients are staying in and practice social distancing as well as proper hygiene. We need to fight Covid together as one. Together we are strong. I am currently able to answer all questions through my email at [email protected]. As for emergencies, please also email or call the office. We can triage over the phone as well. Please be safe everyone. Remember to wash hands often, keep distance from people and definitely stay at home. We can do this together.

"GUM DISEASE LINKED TO ALZHEIMERS" A recent article was released in Jan of 2019 by the AAPD. Here are some highlights from this article. https://www.perio.org/co/alzheimers-and-periodontal-disease... "The study, published in the journal Science Advances, uncovered a potential link between P. gingivalis, the bacteria associated with periodontal disease (commonly known as gum disease) and Alzheimer’s." " Periodontists have long known that a healthy mouth contributes to a healthy body, and research has suggested an association between periodontal disease and dementia conditions, such as Alzheimer’s, Dr. Kao said." More than half of the U.S. population age 30 and older has some form of periodontal disease." In early stages of gum disease, there is no pain so most people ignore the common signs of gum disease. Early signs are 1)Red, swollen or tender gums. 2)Bleeding 3)Gum recession or pulling away from your teeth. 4)Loose teeth 5)Pus from your gums. 6)Bad breath Periodontal disease can be treated if caught early.
