Talking with Lance about Oral Health

October 1^st , 2010

Okay world, this is my ~second official BLOG Post – please share you comments and concerns.  I hope for this to be an informative and educational BLOG on both you ORAL HEALTH and your TOTAL HEALTH.  From time to time it will also have some information about various happenings with our office and me Dr.A. (andreaus, dds, a-aacd)

Just recently, The Five Points Center for Aesthetic Dentistry collaborated with the Health and Healing Publication to promote awareness about the mouth-body connection along with a review of information between women’s heart disease and gum infection.

Here are some important facts to know:

• More than 500,00 women die of heart disease annually-breast cancer deaths are estimated at 40,000-making heart disease the number one killer of women
• According to many past and recent research studies, it has been shown there are two obvious cardiovascular biomarkers caused by gum disease-C-reactive protein (CRP) and Lipoproteinassociated Phospholipase A2 ( Lp-PLA2).
• Any gum disease that is diagnosed and treated early enough has enormous impact on improving the chances of decreasing heart disease.

In the recent Health and Healing article I discussed the need for awareness of the correlation between gum disease = heart disease; diabetes; and other systemic diseases. We are very passionate about saving lives and are proud to be associated with the Health and Healing publication.

We hope you will join us too–not just helping yourself, but also helping a friend.

Changing lives and saving them adds so much energy and gratitude to what we do every day at The Five Points Center for Aesthetic Dentistry.

We hope everyone can be just as lucky.

Until next time, keep smiling.

Dr.A.
