Dental Care is Essential to Good Health.

Many people are unaware just how important good oral care is to their total health and longevity. During the Covid-19 epidemic, one of the co-morbidity factors that claimed many lives was related to oral infection (gum disease). Periodontal infection is dangerous to your health and can contribute or worsen your diabeties, heart health, Alzheimer's, and more including low-birth weight babies and spontaneous miscarriage.

"Take care of your smile."

You can enjoy a longer, healthier, happier lifetime of pain-free dental care with proper care of your teeth and gums. "People who keep their teeth live an average of ten years longer than people who lose their teeth."

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), gum disease (Periodontal Disease) is considered one of the most prevalent infectious diseases globally, affecting a significant portion of the adult population world wide. Periodontal disease was considered a co-morbidity factor during Covid-19. Patients with gum disease had a dramatically increased risk of hospitalization and a substantial increase risk of death when they contracted the Covid virus.

Patients with severe respiratory problems or even pneumonia during the cold and flu season are at a much greater risk of hospitalization and have an increased risk of death if they have gum infection. Most hospitals now require patients needing surgical procedure to follow "dental clearance" (treating oral infection) prior to elective procedures because of the increased risk of adverse outcomes. Untreated gum disease is a serious health risk and is associated with an increase risk of many severe disease processes, including heart disease, strokes, diabetes, Alzheimer's, low birth-weight babies, and more.

In the US approximately 70% of adults over the age of 40 years have some degree of periodontal infection. Gum disease should be considered a serious health risk. Unfortunately, during the Covid-19 epidemic dentistry was considered "non-essential" and dental offices were forced to close.
