We\u2019re constantly learning about the surprising connections that exist within the body &#8212; like recent news that snacking on a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/boston.cbslocal.com\/2016\/12\/06\/nuts-study-health-heart-disease-cancer-snacking\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">handful of nuts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> can greatly reduce your risk of developing heart disease. Time to stock up on the almonds!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your dentist in Larchmont knows it\u2019s not just what you eat that affects your heart health. Did you know that the health of your gums dramatically impacts your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/heart-disease\/features\/periodontal-disease-heart-health#1#1\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cardiovascular system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">? Patients with gum disease are far more likely to experience heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and other serious issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of your oral structures, your gum health has perhaps the most significant effect on your systemic well-being. The gums are the gateway to the rest of your body, after all. An infection here can affect or be affected by a number of conditions, including\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Diabetes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Memory loss<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Certain types of cancer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Respiratory issues<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pregnancy complications<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fortunately, research shows that treating gum disease helps to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diabetesselfmanagement.com\/blog\/diabetes-and-your-gums\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">control blood glucose levels<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for diabetics, and vice versa. Talk to your dentist about potential risks if you are dealing with periodontal disease. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">People who are missing teeth will also start to realize how our teeth (or lack thereof) greatly affect our overall health. Bones need stimulation to thrive &#8212; and when a tooth has been lost, the jawbone is missing the activity provided by its root. A dental implant is the only replacement option that gives you back your tooth\u2019s supporting root as well as its crown. Implant dentistry improves patient health after tooth loss. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Better Hygiene and Lifestyle Habits Improve Oral Health<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So what can you do to better your overall health by way of your oral cavity? Consider your dental hygiene routine, for starters. People who brush twice daily for two minutes benefit from reduced plaque and tartar buildup. Flossing daily removes the food particles and plaque your toothbrush leaves behind. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And whether you think you need it or not, a visit to your dentist\u2019s office every six months is an excellent way to enjoy improved oral health. During this preventive visit, your hygienist removes the plaque and tartar buildup that causes cavities and gum disease. Your dentist then checks for the early warning signs of potential issues, like decay, infection, worn dental work, and even oral cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Conclusion: If there\u2019s one step you can take today to recommit to your oral and overall health, it\u2019s visiting your dentist two times every year. Whether you think you need to or not.<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Schedule a Visit With Your Dentist Today<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When was your last checkup and cleaning with Geller Dentistry?
