For many years, dentists and other doctors have surmised that there is a very strong link with oral health and overall physical health. Recently, several very reputable and well designed studies have indicated a strong link between poor oral hygiene and health to heart health. Bacterial plaque and tartar buildup has also been strongly associated to the plaque that can accumulate in the arteries (atherosclerosis)which can lead to blockages, strokes, and even heart attacks. Fortunately, Dr. Kelley Fisher is a strong advocate of treating oral health from the gums up (or down!). By establishing and maintaining a strong oral hygiene routine, patients with periodontal health issues can prevent and even reverse the development of serious oral health challenges such as infections, receding gums, and even tooth loss. At Eastside Comprehensive Dentistry in Issaquah, WA, our dedicated staff can help you learn how to keep your gums and teeth healthy for a lifetime! Read on to learn about some of the periodontal treatments that we offer to combat gum disease!
