There is new discovery relating to Alzheimer’s disease and what seems like a direct connection between the bacteria that cause Alzheimer’s disease and the bacteria that cause periodontal disease. The information is very new and we don’t have all the answers but this is what we do know:

While we are practicing social distancing to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, we also need to be concerned about our dental health. The coronavirus doesn’t cancel tooth decay or gum disease. Protect your smile, an important part of your overall health!

But taking care of your gums is all year around! And we are here to help you do that. Having healthy gums is so important to your overall health. It is not “just gums.” Any continuous inflammation in your gums spreads throughout the body. MEDICAL STUDIES are proving that if you have periodontal disease, you have a higher risk for:

8 out of 10 patients who come to us tell us that they have seen so many doctors in hopes to cure their headaches, but have no luck finding a solution. While the doctors are doing their best, they may have just been diagnosing you improperly! Unlike other diseases, there are no medical tests for diagnosing these problems.
