HOW CAN THE HEALTH OF MY MOUTH AFFECT MY SYSTEMIC (OVERALL) HEALTH?
*Gum Disease such as gingivitis, periodontitis, (pyorrhea) can cause a variety of health concerns including:
Heart disease
Stroke
Diabetes
Lung Infections
Pre-term births
Respiratory Diseases
Alzheimer’s Disease
Colon Cancer
Kidney Disease
Prostrate Cancer

-
Obesity

Osteoporosis.
*Gingivitis and Periodontitis (gum disease) increase systemic levels of inflammatory proteins called C-Reactive Proteins. These proteins are made in the liver and cause a number of side effects in the body, such as the ones listed above.
*The American Dental Association recommends a gum disease-screening exam at least once a year. The results of this exam will determine your periodontal status. Treatment for Gum Disease may include, but not be limited to:
Scaling and Root Planing – consists of professional in-office care that detoxifies the tooth surfaces below the gum line and in between the teeth.
Sub-gingival Irrigation – consists of using a medicine to flush out the bacteria that caused this infection.
Periodontal Maintenance – consists of coming in every 3 months in order to maintain the health of your mouth.
Dental Tools/Aids – consists of daily use of HydroFloss, Rotadent, Tooth and Gum Tonic, Breath RX Products and Chlorahexadine, etc.
