Let us help you maximize your dental benefits
Greetings ~ this month's focus is to help our existing and new patients maximize their dental insurance benefits as well as help those patients without dental insurance understand options like CareCredit and Dental Save Plans. Most insurance benefits reset January 1st, 2022 and if you do not use all 2021 benefits, you lose them. If you have remaining benefits, now is the time to schedule an appointment before end of year. Also, if you need dental treatment, give us a call, we can help with many options so you get the care you need right now.

People with severe gum disease may be twice as likely to have increased blood pressure
Date: March 29, 2021
Source: American Heart Association
Summary: Research shows that periodontitis, severe gum disease, is linked to higher blood pressure in otherwise healthy individuals. This study of 500 adults with and without gum disease found that approximately 50% of adults could have undetected hypertension. Promotion of good oral health could help reduce gum disease and the risk of high blood pressure and its complications.
