BETTER LATE THAN NEVER?
Research Finds Increased Risk for Older Patients
Wisdom teeth are truly a pain, and not just because they can cause physical discomfort as they grow in. Third molars (3M) can wreak havoc in a patient's mouth, and the longer a patient holds off on seeking extraction, the more dangerous the surgery becomes. The Journal of Oral and Mexillofacial Surgery published a study which looked at 3M complications in elderly patients.
During the study, the researchers found patients of 65 and older needed more antithrombotic agents, had higher rates of ankylosis and nerve proximity, and showed significantly more intraoperative and postoperative complications.
Your Mouth Is Key
To overall body health!
There are many ways that researchers link oral diseases with systemic diseases. While gum disease isn't a cause of systemic disease, it is considered an added risk factor. For example...
* People with gum disease are almost two times as likely to suffer from stroke and heart disease as those with healthy gums.
* Diabetes and gum disease affect each other equally. It's been proven that people with diabetes are more likely to have gum disease and gum disease makes it more difficult for the diabetic to control blood-sugar levels.
* Gum disease can increase the risk for respiratory disease, arthritis, dementia, osteoporosis, premature birth, kidney & pancreatic cancer, Alzheimer's, and more!
While we don't fully understand connections, just knowing there are links and added risks tells us that we must make excellent oral health a top priority. Ensure you keep your regular recare appointments!

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
Keep Your Beautiful Smile Glorious!
People often think that if a little improvement is good, then a lot must be better. We're seen that with teeth whitening. Just a little stain removal can make a huge difference, but too much of a good thing can cause damage.
Teeth whitening products don't put "white" in your smile, they bleach strains out. Over-bleaching can damage gum tissue, your tongue, and your throat. It can increase tooth sensitivity and cause loss of enamel.
If you want a whiter smile, come in and see us.
Here's what you can expect:
* fast & effective treatment
* controlled predictable results
* professional monitoring & follow-up.
Within just a couple of weeks, your smile can be dazzling, white, and bright!
