One of the things that we talked about at one of our recent
staff meetings was the Mouth Body Connection.
There are studies out now that suggest that the incidence of periodontal disease, Which is the most advanced form of gum disease, may be 2-3 times higher than previous estimates. We, as a team, found this very disturbing because only about 3% of those people who have gum disease seek treatment for it. One of the things we chatted about at our meeting was why so few? All of us here at Dr. Steven’s office believe it’s because people may not understand that gum disease has long-term and potentially life
threatening implications if it’s left untreated. They say that knowledge is power, and we feel the responsibility to make sure that you have the knowledge to take good care of yourself.
So how can there be a mouth-body connection?
Well, your body is made up of a number of vital and interdependent systems.
For example, your mouth is part of the digestive system. If any one of these complex systems in your body fails, your overall well being is in jeopardy.
As science reveals more and more information about the mouth-body connection,
It becomes more evident that healthy teeth and gums are essential to your overall health.
Right now gum disease has been linked to complications in pregnancy, Diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, alzheimer’s disease, lung disease, some cancers, and strokes.
You can have Gum disease without any symptoms or discomfort, but,
it’s highly treatable, and can sometimes be reversed.
Regular professional dental hygiene visits, and effective home care can stop
It’s progression, and it’s potential impact on your body!
