Recent studies show a link between gum disease and certain medical conditions such as:

Heart Disease

Diabetes

Stroke 

Blood Infection and more.

The blood stream links organisms in the mouth to the rest of the body. Bacteria from the mouth enter into the circulatory system and travel to other parts of the body, causing a inflammatory response. New research demonstrates that inflammation may link periodontal (gum) disease to other chronic conditions.

Regular visits by a dental hygienist can:

Detect early signs of gum disease

Remove bad bacteria from under the gums

Detect harmful infections in the mouth

Reduce the rate of decay by using fluoride and sealants

Treatment for Xerostomia (dry mouth)

Reduce halitosis (bad Breath)

Improve oral comfort

Improve overall health

How often should my dental hygienist visit?

Patients will be scheduled on either a one, three or four month recall.

Why so often?

Patients with Special Needs face challenges on a daily basis including oral health, which should not be overlooked. Regular removal of bacteria from beneath the gums can improve overall health along with reducing the incidence of decay, pain and harmful infections that can complicate their medical condition.
