Dear Friends,
First and foremost, I want to wish everyone well. I hope all of you, your families, and friends are healthy and safe at this time. Many of you have already received a call from one of our staff, and those who haven’t will get one shortly. We just wanted to touch base with everyone in our practice family to see how you are doing and if there is anything we can help you with. As for us, we do regular Zoom meetings to stay connected and stay up to date on the latest information, both scientific and political. At this time, we don’t know when we will be allowed to work, but we are preparing diligently to make dentistry safe whenever that day comes. In the meantime, we are open for emergencies and urgent care for any patient who needs it, whether they be our patient or not. I can be reached by text or phone at 416-712-7001 or by email at [email protected].
I want to share with you some of the scientific information we have to help you understand what the world is facing now. I will do this in a two part series of email blasts. The first will be on the subject of oral and general health as well as scientific information on the virus itself.
Many of us take for granted oral care. It is readily available, delivered in a safe and hopefully caring environment, and often financially viable through group health plans.
What many don’t know is how connected oral health is to our general health. There are many studies that show this, and anyone who is a diabetic undoubtedly knows how important proper oral care is to their general health. This also applies to people with cardiovascular issues, as research is showing a trending link between periodontal disease and increases in cardiovascular complications. This is especially troubling given the effects coronavirus has on the cardiovascular system, and all body systems really.
