Dr. Steven N. Rice of Advanced Laser Gum Surger- Institute of Washington Focuses on American Heart Month and the Link Between Gum Disease and Heart Disease
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) February 11, 2014 -- Leveraging February’s status as American Heart Month, Dr. Steven N. Rice of the Advanced Laser Gum Surgery- Institute of Washington is educating Rockville, MD patients about the relationship between gum disease and heart disease and the importance of seeking gum disease treatment as soon as symptoms become present. It is acknowledged by both dental and medical professionals that the existence of gum disease, especially if left untreated, can increase a person’s risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, but, it can be prevented and controlled. With that in mind, February is American Heart Month and there can be no better time than the present to look for ways to reduce the risk of heart disease. With research showing a very clear link between gum disease and heart disease, seeking gum disease treatment in Rockville is one of the steps to take to help reduce the risk of this potentially lethal condition.
Periodontal (gum) disease is caused by the buildup of bacteria on the teeth. The bacteria responsible for this infection are able to travel through the body causing or aggravating other medical conditions. Dr. Rice offers Rockville patients multiple options for gum disease treatment based upon their unique circumstances. From traditional surgeries to laser gum surgery, Dr. Rice and his staff offer leading-edge treatments and focus on achieving optimal results while maintaining comfort for their patients.
