Dr. Michael Zidile, DDS

It’s a good idea to take care of your teeth throughout life. Yet unforeseen problems can arise with age. Once you are over 40, your gums may begin to recede from your teeth, forming pockets that absorb plaque as bacteria do their damage inflaming the gums. To save a tooth with receding gums, you may need the work of a periodontist, a dental specialist who deals with gum disease, whether gingivitis or its more severe cousin, periodontitis. I was referred by my general dentist to Dr. Michael Zidile of Brooklyn Periodontics and Implant Dentistry. The office, on the principal shopping street of Brooklyn Heights, is staffed by coordinators Peggy and Ashley, as friendly as you might hope for as they afford a first impression. Their attention to patients is important as many of us are afraid of dentists despite our need for them. I was eager enough to have my receding gums on tooth #13 patched up as they were causing sharp pain similar to that of a toothache. After Felipe took a scan of the… entire mouth, proudly showing his work on a screen and Dr. Zidile gave me an initial consultation, I found myself trusting this periodontist, praised by New York Times health columnist Jane Brody in 2009 when Dr. Zidile was just 30 years old. I was impressed by the plethora of dental machines in his clean and spacious quarters, including a CAT scanner and an array of the usual dental equipment, including a fancy Canon camera which took as many photos as Tom Cruise might expect on the red carpet. At our appointment the following week, I underwent Dr. Zidile’s treatment with the help of his thoroughly competent and caring surgical assistant, Cythia. He numbed my gums and upper palate, grafting tissue onto the area causing pain, though tooth #13 could not be saved. An x-ray, radiograph, even a CAT scan cannot discover whether or not a tooth is cracked, or fractured, needing removal as mine was. Only minor surgery exposing the root, can give the periodontist the information needed. The principal point is that Dr. Zidile and his staff make this the place to go for periodontal ailments. If you live in Brooklyn or Manhattan, you have a short trip to 185 Montague Street. If you live in Australia, fly over. You won’t regret the care of this team of highly professional people.

Yesterday was my first visit with Dr Zidile, periodontist. I thank the staff for being so curteous and not make me feel bad because I was late for the appt-took more than 20 minutes looking for parking; I finally resorted to a paid parking. I was very impressed with the staff, especially the hygienist and Dr Zidile who both took their time to explain each step of the visit. Dr. Zidile was very patient and thorough explaining my condition and his recommended treatment plan. He did not rush through my questions and concerns. My dentist highly recommended Dr. Zidile, and I now see why. I am actually hoping for the best! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
