Is Gum Disease Killing You?
Dr. Moise Desvarieux, of Columbia University Medical Center's Mailman School of Public Health who headed a study linking gum disease to atherosclerosis stated, "because gum infections are preventable and treatable, taking care of your oral health could very well have a significant impact on your cardiovascular health." We truly care about you and your health! Keep up to date with your cleanings, and with insurance your cleaning and exam could incur little to no out of pocket cost.

We all know that the condition and health of your teeth affect your smile, and it can also decrease your ability to eat and cause pain. But do you know that it can impact your overall health? It has been found that people with gum disease are more likely to suffer from atherosclerosis, a narrowing of blood vessels which can cause a stroke or heart attack. The study concluded that people who had a higher level of a certain bacteria, which causes gum disease, also had an increase in carotid artery thickness.
