I am more excited about the services we offer than ever before in the 27 years I have been in Dentistry. Cosmetic veneers, Express Bleaching, Drill-less Dentistry, Direct antibiotics for Gum Disease, are just a few of the newest advancements in Dentistry. We are high tech with a human touch.
There is growing evidence that the presence of periodontal (gum) disease can be linked to the occurrence of coronary heart disease or coronary artery disease. When the gums are infected they frequently bleed. Recently, Researchers at the University on Minnesota recently discovered that bleeding gums, which are common in gum disease, provide an, “open doorway” for plaque bacteria to enter the bloodstream. The bacteria, Streptococcus Sanguis, can cause blood clots, which block arteries and trigger heart attacks. It is being estimated that fifty-percent of the plaque in an artery is compiled of the same plaque matrix that is found in dental plaque.
Findings are also revealing a relationship between regular dental exams and cleanings, and a reduced risk of stroke. Patients who attended a dental appointment at least twice a year were four times less likely to have a history of stroke. What is the lesson to be learned? BRUSH, FLOSS, and visit us regularly! We know that good oral health can prevent more that just gum disease. It is a great pleasure to serve patients like yourself and greater satisfaction that you had placed your confidence in us and appreciated our work. We are sure you will enjoy the results of both our efforts.
Time is precious for most people and I know that the time you invested with us will prove well spent. It is important to ensure that both your time and financial investment is well protected.
