Discover Our Advanced Facilities for Exceptional Patient Care
Research continues to reveal connections between oral health and systemic diseases. Routine dental care not only protects your teeth but may also lower your risk for serious health conditions.
Gum Disease & Systemic Diseases
Although studies are ongoing, gum disease (periodontitis) has been linked to several health conditions, including:
Diabetes:
Gum disease may make blood sugar harder to control, and diabetics are at a higher risk for severe gum infections.
Osteoporosis:
Bone loss in the jaw can contribute to tooth loss, much like osteoporosis affects the body’s skeletal system.
Respiratory Disease:
Bacteria from the mouth can be inhaled into the lungs, potentially contributing to conditions like pneumonia.
Cancer:
Research from the American Academy of Periodontology suggests that men with gum disease are more likely to develop kidney, pancreatic, and blood cancers.
Heart Disease & Stroke:
Scientists are exploring potential links between gum disease and cardiovascular conditions.
At every visit, our team monitors your oral health for early signs of disease, helping you take proactive steps to protect your overall well-being.
