latest 5 star review
Just had my 6 month teeth cleaning/xray appt with Dr. Birnbach's office. I couldn't believe the enormous steps they had taken to ensure the safety of their patients, and employees, against COVID. I felt really, really safe from the moment my hygienist met me in the parking lot, took the safety precautions, i.e. temperature, hand sanitizer, in the vestibule, to the protective covering of the chair and special equipment. I would highly recommend not only maintaining your dental health, but utilizing his office and staff to do so. I've been going to Dr. Birnbach for nearly 28 years and noted how he always stayed ahead of the curve when it came to technique and technology but this visit really sold me on how much concern and care he and his staff have for their patients.

Gum Disease Tied to Colon Cancer Risk
People with periodontal disease had a higher risk of polyps that can lead to colon cancer.

Gum disease may increase your risk of colorectal cancer.
A new study, published in Cancer Prevention Research, included 42,486 men and women participating in two large continuing health surveys. Over the past several decades, the participants had periodically reported information on health and diet, including reports of gingivitis and tooth loss.
The researchers reviewed pathology reports from colonoscopies, documenting the incidence of two types of intestinal lesions that are precursors of colon cancer: serrated polyps and conventional adenomas. Removal of these lesions reduces colon cancer risk substantially.
Compared with people with no history of periodontal disease, those who had gum disease had a 17 percent increased relative risk of having a serrated polyp and an 11 percent increased risk of a conventional adenoma. The scientists also found that the loss of four or more teeth was associated with a 20 percent increased risk for having a serrated polyp.
The study controlled for smoking, body mass index, aspirin use and physical activity, among other known risks for colon cancer.
“We don’t know exactly how much poor oral health increases the risk for colorectal cancer,” said the senior author, Mingyang Song, an assistant professor of epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “We need further studies to determine how the oral microbiome and the gut microbiome may interact to influence cancer risk.”
