March is National Nutrition Month! 🥑

A balanced diet and adequate intake of fruit and vegetables are closely tied to periodontal health. The vitamins and minerals we get from food, including calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin E, can help form strong bones - including teeth. Research published in the journal Nutrients has also suggested that a diet high in these nutrients can improve the outcome of periodontal therapies and treatments.

As periodontists, we must take a holistic approach to dental health and overall patient well-being, as many other lifestyle factors (like nutrition) play a role in diagnosing, treating, and managing periodontitis.

If you've seen videos on the internet of people swishing coconut oil around in their mouths, you're not alone. This trend, known as oil pulling, actually has some benefits for curbing gingivitis. Here's what you need to know.

A significant aspect of caring for our patients involves maintaining our facility. Our patient rooms are comfortable, clean, and welcoming to everyone. While our aim, as providers, is to keep patients out of the operating chair, we want them to feel at ease when they do require care.

February is Heart Health Awareness Month. While it might seem to have little to do with the work that our doctors and staff do in the field of periodontics and implant dentistry, the truth is that there are more linkages between gum and heart health than you may think.

There is a growing body of evidence that suggests a link between the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and periodontitis. Harvard University even shares that folks with gum disease have a two to three times greater risk of having a major cardiovascular event, like a stroke or heart attack. The likely culprit here is chronic inflammation, which affects both the gum tissue and the tissues surrounding the heart and vascular system. Smoking, diet, and exercise may also alter the risk of developing CVD and periodontitis.

As periodontists and implant dentistry professionals, we need to collaborate with other folks in the medical community to understand these systematic linkages better and consider holistic patient health when deciding on treatment plans, interventions, and prevention.
