BAD BREATH THAT DOESN’T GO AWAY, RED, SWOLLEN, TENDER AND BLEEDING GUMS,
or loose or sensitive teeth can be telltale signs of gum disease. Unfortunately, periodontal
disease is quite prevalent today, according to Caryn F. Miller, DMD, and left untreated it
can prove extremely detrimental to the patient’s general health.
One of only a handful of board-certified female periodontists, Dr. Miller cautions,
“Studies have shown that people with gum disease are more likely to develop heart
disease and have difficulty controlling blood sugar, while pregnant women have a greater
risk of delivering pre-term, low birth weight babies.”
Normally, the first course of corrective treatment is to remove the plaque and tartar
build-up through a deep cleansing called scaling and root planing. Other available
treatment options, rendered by Dr. Miller and her caring staff, are gum grafting to treat
recession and reduce sensitivity, cosmetic surgery, bone grafting, osseous surgery, dental
implants, biopsies, extractions and maintenance using the very latest technology.
“I love my specialty because it is medically based and ever changing. It’s now possible for
us to grow back bone and gum tissues,” states Dr. Miller, who has been in practice for
the past 25 years. A graduate of Northwestern University, she pursued her graduate
studies in periodontics at the UMDNJ Dental School. A diplomate of the American Board
of Peridontology, she is a frequent lecturer and clinical instructor at Overlook Hospital.
Dr. Miller adds, “My office is very soothing and makes people enjoy coming to see us. I
have an extremely loyal and friendly staff, who have been here for a long time. We offer
TV, music, pillows and a beautiful Southwestern décor.”

IN THE SPECIALTY OF ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY IN THIS COUNTRY, DR. MARGO J. FREEDBERG IS STILL
breaking new ground. For many years, dentistry was typically a male dominated profession. Despite
the fact that the disparity is gradually decreasing, the number of women in oral and maxillofacial
surgery remains low.
Dr. Freedberg prides herself on providing compassion and care in all aspects of her services.
“Recognizing that most patients can be fairly nervous, I take great pains to address their unease
through a kinder, gentler experience. First and foremost, I understand the importance of addressing any
questions or concerns and carefully explaining treatment steps,” explains Dr. Freedberg. “But most
important of all, we aim for minimal surgical intervention and optimal patient comfort.”
Whether in her private practice at Associates in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery since 1998 or as the chief
of the Oral Surgery Department at Overlook Hospital in Summit, Dr. Freedberg confronts her work as
a problem solver, diagnosing and treating each case with expertise and attention. After completing her
dental degree at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, she was inducted into the
Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honorary Dental Society in 1994. Realizing an interest in oral surgery, Dr.
Freedberg then began her four-year surgical residency at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center.
With a stellar reputation, Dr. Freedberg pra
