A recent study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association (2025) revealed that DNA from oral bacteria, particularly Viridans streptococci, was present in nearly 50% of examined coronary artery plaques. The bacteria were organized in biofilms — dense, protective communities that resist the immune system and persist over time. Researchers suggest that disturbances in these biofilms may trigger inflammation and plaque rupture, critical events that can lead to heart attacks.

This discovery strengthens the connection between oral health and cardiovascular disease. Poor dental hygiene and untreated gum infections may allow oral microbes to enter the bloodstream, infiltrate arteries, and contribute to systemic inflammation.

Maintaining healthy teeth and gums is more than cosmetic; it could be a crucial step in preventing heart disease.

It’s also National Pizza Day and National Bagel Day. Coincidence? I think not. 🧐

Thinking of remodeling. Thoughts?

🍁 Our front-yard oak tree has officially outdone itself this year- draped in fiery reds and golden yellows it’s like it’s auditioning for a pumpkin spice commercial!

🐿️ Tuffy the squirrel, our longtime bushy-tailed neighbor, has been living his best life. Thanks to the acorn avalanche this tree delivered, Tuffy’s cheeks are full, his belly is round, and his cardio routine has been replaced with casual people-watching from the branches.

Swing by to schedule your 2025 appointment, stay for the foliage, and if your lucky, catch a glimpse of Tuffy doing his signature stare “I definitely don’t have acorns in my mouth” stare.

This year’s veggie haul was so epic, we had to share the bounty. After your routine cleaning, you won’t just leave with minty-fresh-breath- you might score a tomato that’s fresher than your floss game. 🍅 💪

Because nothing says “thank you for not having cavities” like a cucumber in your goody bag. 🤣

Hi friends, Romeo here! Just wanted to send a little reminder that it's probably time for you to schedule your next appointment. The humans here at the office love seeing you, but not as much as I do!

Give us a call to book your routine visit, and I'll see you soon! 🐾
