Bad Teeth and Heart Disease!

Saturday, May 10, 2008

Bad Teeth & Heart Disease?

Another study has been released that shows conclusive evidence that periodontal disease is a risk factor for heart disease in men less than 60 years old. The study was conducted by the Boston University School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Thomas Dietrich, one of the study's authors reported 'this is the 1st study to find a significant association between chronic periodontitis and the risk of coronary heart disease, even after adjusting for important confounding factors'.
Talk about comprehensive! The men in the study were examined every 3 years for up to 35 years ! Our practice continues to strive to stay abreast of the most current concepts to provide you with the best health care we are capable of making available. Please call Faith or Lea at our office to schedule an appointment to see Katherine or Kim our hygienist at 561-394-9000. Kenneth A. Mogell, D.M.D.
