Watch That Salt!
Sunday, June 10, 2007
Doctor's have been lecturing us for years to watch how much salt we put on our food because of the effect it has on our blood pressure. Hold on it's not just about your blood pressure anymore!A new study from Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston now reports that by using less salt you may reduce the risk of heart attack, stoke and cardiovascular death by as much as 25%! Reducing your salt intake by as little as 25-30 % can make a major impact on one's cardiovascular health.
So smoking, salt and Periodontal disease all affect our overall cardiovascular health. Managing and staying in good health is important and challenging to say the least. Being disciplined in these areas will help you to lead a healthier lifestyle! Kenneth A. Mogell, D.M.D.
Periodontal Disease and secondhand smoke
Tuesday, June 05, 2007
Will secondhand ever cease to amaze me? We have all heard through various media sources how secondhand smoke has been documented to play a significant role in various forms of pulmonary diseases. So as much as I shouldn't be surprised I was when I read a recent article form the Journal of Periodontology. Researchers have found that subjects who already had periodontal disease and were exposed to secondhand smoke were more likely to develop bone loss; the #1 reason for loosing teeth!According to Dr. Nogueira-Filho, the study's author, "Previous clinical research has proven a strong positive correlation between smoking & periodontal disease. However, this study is unique in that it evaluated the impact of secondhand smoke on periodontitis"
Amazing that this study shows that even if you are not a smoker that secondhand smoke has effects well beyond what we might have thought!
Just another reason to make sure that you keep that appointment with Katherine or Kim!
If you don't have an appointment to get your teeth cleaned please be sure to call Meredith and schedule your next visit to allow us to maintain your ultimate periodntal health! Kenneth A. Mogell, D.M.D.
