Dr. Robert Tracey raises awareness of gum disease treatment in Pomona, NY.
Pomona, NY (PRWEB) March 04, 2014
February is American Heart Month, and Robert Tracey, DDS takes the opportunity to teach people about how gum disease risks extend beyond the mouth. The infection that resides in the mouths of the millions of Americans who have gum disease can travel through the bloodstream to other organs, causing damage and contributing to disease. Dr. Tracey offers advanced gum disease treatment in Pomona, NY so that his patients can celebrate American Heart Month with improved oral health, which contributes to better overall health.
Among the gum disease risks are obvious dangers to oral health, including risk of increased gum recession and damage to the roots of the teeth that can lead to tooth loss. Many people are surprised, however, to learn of the links between gum disease and other health conditions, including:
- Heart disease
- Respiratory disease
- Ischemic stroke
- Cancer of the head, neck and pancreas
- Complications with diabetes
- Increased risk of pre-term delivery
Dr. Tracey tutors his patients in the steps they can take to reduce the dangers associated with untreated periodontal disease. First and foremost among preventative measures, of course, is good oral hygiene, including daily brushing and flossing and regular dental visits. For those patients with moderate to severe infection in the gums, Dr. Tracey provides advanced gum disease treatment in Pomona, NY that can eliminate the bacteria that cause the condition in as little as one visit.
