We often take our teeth for granted despite our smile being so important to our self-image and one of the first things people see. But the consequences of inadequate oral care don’t just mean you might get a cavity or have a need for teeth-whitening. It could mean problems below the surface, namely increased risks for heart disease, stroke or health complications caused by severe infections. Learn more from the Smile Generation blog and about our new magazine, Generations of Smiles, which aims to educate and explore the connection between a healthy mouth and a healthy body. https://bddy.me/37aFDcV #MouthBodyConnection #HeartMonth

"The pictures we take with VELscope allow for better communication with our specialist and provides us with an added advantage to better assess our patients before referring. It is such a valuable screening tool because it allows us to see things not visible during a traditional head and neck exam which allows us to provide a more comprehensive exam and help create happier, healthier patients." - Dr. Ashley Elizondo #VELscope #WolrdCancerDay

Matching good oral hygiene habits with healthy food choices can help reinforce your gum health. Here are 5 foods for healthy teeth, gums, and bodies to consider adding to your diet.

Milk Blueberries Spinach Foods to avoid: Sticky, high-sugar foods like candy, ice-cream, chips, and mints Acidic and/or high-sugar drinks like soda, energy drinks, and juices.
Gum disease and tooth decay affect your overall health. 1 Floss at least once a day to help remove the plaque and food that’s beyond your toothbrush’s reach. 2 Brush your teeth twice a day and don’t forget to scrub your tongue since it can harbor bacteria. 3 Choose a toothpaste that contains fluoride and has the ADA seal of acceptance. 4 Therapeutic mouthwash can help reduce plaque, prevent or reduce gingivitis, and/or reduce the speed tartar develops. ... 5 Smoking is strongly associated with the onset of gum disease and since it weakens your immune system, makes it harder to fight off gum infection. 6 Your dentist can detect early gum disease symptoms and treat them before it becomes more serious, plus, professional cleanings are the only way to remove tartar.

Much depends upon the stage of infection and the amount of deterioration involving your gums, teeth, supporting tissues, and bone. After reviewing your X-rays and performing a thorough periodontal exam, your periodontist will discuss non-surgical or surgical treatment options with you (including pocket reduction and bone regeneration), answer your questions, and explain what to expect: During and af...ter the procedure(s) The number of office visits required for treatment What to do at home as your gums heal How to keep periodontal disease under control after treatment is complete If you want to learn more about gum disease, give us a call or visit Smile Generation: https://bddy.me/3fuZhDa
