Jackson NJ dentist, Dr. Balaji Srinivasan of Aesthetic Dental Creations, now offers patients advanced laser technology to determine proper levels of nutrition. The non-invasive, 90 second test can detect levels of anti-oxidants within one’s body. The test helps Dr. Srinivasan recommend dental care and nutritional supplementation that is specifically targeted towards combating periodontal disease.
An estimated 80 percent of American adults currently have some form of periodontal disease, an infection of the tissues that support the teeth. Research has shown and experts agree that infections associated with periodontal disease can lead to severe health risks including stroke, heart disease and other life threatening systemic diseases.

Dr. Srinivasan’s goal is to help his NJ patients by discussing how to prevent these very serious diseases and by offering a customized nutritional plan of action. The new laser technology allows Dr. Srinivasan to scientifically track the anti-oxidant status of patients throughout their treatment phase. As their scores improve so too will their periodontal health.
“Let’s build our immune system to a point where it can ward off these inflammatory diseases, rather than wait for the onset to occur and then scramble to treat them. Let’s build up the anti-oxidants in our body to counteract the damage that free radicals produce daily,” says Dr. Srinivasan.
It is becoming more evident that nutrition and a healthy lifestyle can lead to a longer and a more trouble free longevity. Unfortunately, Americans have become accustomed to taking prescription medications for various illnesses, rather then embark on a preventative health plan. “Our health care model has become one of treating us when we are sick rather than teaching us how to prevent those same illnesses in the first place,” adds Dr. Srinivasan. “We as a whole are over-medicated and that should raise concerns in all of us.”
