HomeValerie and MaryLou just attended the New Mexico Dental Convention on June 10-13 in Albuquerque. One of the courses we attended confirms what we have been doing in our practice. In the past, we never got too excited about the presence of gum disease unless it started to destroy the supporting bone around the teeth. We now know that medical research is confirming that inflammation anywhere in the body is a significant factor in many of the chronic systemic diseases. Such as Heart disease, Diabetes, Cancer, Alzheimer’s, Stroke, Chronic Lung problems, Pre-Term births, Low Birth Weight babies and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
If you are concerned about Gum Disease and all the risks that can occur, then it is extremely important to partner with us over your lifespan. We can monitor you for the earliest signs of gum disease. Treating gum disease in its earliest stages can lower your risks for heart disease and other aforementioned diseases, as well as treating any signs of inflammation.
