What is your number? #FightGumDisease Knowing your gum pocket depths is important! If you have healthy gums, the distance between the gum and tooth should be 1-3mm. Anything beyond 3mm is indicative of gum disease. Next time, during your check up, ask us about your pocket depth!

A healthy attitude is contagious, but don't wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier.

This is especially important if you bruise easy...

Bacteria that live in your mouth is found in nearly every organ in the body. If you have bleeding gums, that’s an imbalance between oral microbes and your immune system. This inflammation is now implicated throughout the body and in many cases they find oral bacteria as the culprit. That’s why you need to pay close attention to your oral health.... Researchers from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland essentially traced the passage of bacteria in the mouth to the fluid surrounded the kneecap, called synovial fluid. By analyzing the DNA of the bacteria, the researchers could determine that the progeny of the gum bacteria entered into the bloodstream and settled in the synovial fluid, which was in a weakened state as a result of arthritis. The small study group of only 36 patients, none with advanced periodontitis. Of these patients, five had gum bacteria in their synovial fluid. Most convincing, though, was the fact that for two of the patients, the bacteria found in the mouth and in the synovial fluid were genetically nearly identical, providing smoking-gun evidence of bacteria relocating. Do not wait, make sure you and your family don’t miss your annual checkup. ‘Healthy Mouth = Healthy Body!

A recent survey shows that as many as 37% of high school seniors and more than 17% of eighth-graders vaped in the previous year. Nicotine can lead to gum disease and tooth loss. Not only does nicotine restrict blood flow to the gums, it also affects our mouth’s natural ability to fight infection and replenish connective tissue, leading to a higher risk of gum disease and tooth loss. Propylene glycol is toxic to enamel and soft tissue. One of the main ingredients in vape ...juice is propylene glycol (PG), which is safe to eat and inhale but when used orally breaks down into acids that damage enamel, and propionaldehyde, which irritates soft tissue. PG also causes dry mouth, taking away essential saliva, leading to cavities and gum disease. Vegetable glycerin and flavorings help bacteria stick to (already soft) teeth. Vegetable glycerin (VG) is a slightly sticky liquid sweetener that helps Streptococcus mutans to stick to grooves on the biting surfaces of teeth. In addition, when mixed with the flavorings that draw teens to enjoy vaping, the combination causes four times as many microbes to stick to teeth and double the growth of biofilm. Flavorings also decrease the hardness of tooth enamel by 27%. Lithium batteries pose a risk of overheating and explosions.
