February is not only National Children's Dental Health Month, a time to consider the benefits of improving the dental health of children of all ages, but February also marks American Heart Month. This time each year, the American Heart Association wants everyone to take note of the health of your heart since cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the entire world.Studies continue to show a correlation between gum disease and heart disease, underscoring the importance of good oral health care. Visiting our office on a regular basis can help prevent gum disease or at least catch it in its early stages, which improves the treatment outcome. In observance of Heart Month, know you numbers:
- Blood Pressure
- Less than 120/80
- Cholesterol
- Less than 200
- BMI
- Less than 25
A healthy mouth begins with a visit to our office. If you have any questions about your heart health or are in need of an appointment, call our office at 918-455-0123.
God Bless,
DRT
