In February, we can celebrate not only love but heart health as well. It makes sense that February is Heart Disease Awareness Month, intended to help people learn more about the cause of 1 in every 4 deaths in the United States. If you visit us this month, don\u2019t be surprised if you see us wearing red to help spread awareness! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> You may already know some ways you can keep your heart healthy, such as regular exercise and eating more fruits and vegetables, but did you know that you can improve your heart health by taking care of your smile? It\u2019s true! In fact, February is also Gum Disease Awareness Month, and by the end of this newsletter, you\u2019ll understand why these two diseases share a month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cbd83558a386a415c96e11b2_256x560.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-314\" width=\"123\" height=\"269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cbd83558a386a415c96e11b2_256x560.png 256w, https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cbd83558a386a415c96e11b2_256x560-137x300.png 137w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 123px) 100vw, 123px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In honor of Heart Month, we are holding a giveaway contest!

These harmful bacteria attack the connective tissue between gums and teeth, leading to loss of gum tissue and even bone in more advanced states. Once bone loss has occurred, teeth lose their stable foundation. They can become loose and even come out completely. In fact, gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/182aebab2aa36de8dae5dc65_446x358.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-317\" width=\"264\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/182aebab2aa36de8dae5dc65_446x358.jpg 446w, https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/182aebab2aa36de8dae5dc65_446x358-300x241.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 264px) 100vw, 264px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Impact if Gum Disease on the Heart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p> So how does an infection within the mouth relate to your heart? Your gums have many small blood vessels coursing through them, which links to the rest of your body. The inflammatory bacteria present in periodontal disease have the potential to enter the bloodstream and travel to other areas of the body. In blood vessels or veins where circulation is already restricted, these inflammatory bacteria can exacerbate the problem. Research has shown a correlation between gum disease, high blood pressure and an increased risk of a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/request-an-appointment.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/6840ce5c863e1c50dd1680c1_1128x564-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/6840ce5c863e1c50dd1680c1_1128x564-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/6840ce5c863e1c50dd1680c1_1128x564-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/6840ce5c863e1c50dd1680c1_1128x564-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/6840ce5c863e1c50dd1680c1_1128x564.jpg 1128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/7c82ddd63c84b70b4849eee1_446x358.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-319\" width=\"251\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/7c82ddd63c84b70b4849eee1_446x358.jpg 446w, https:\/\/www.winthropsmiles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/7c82ddd63c84b70b4849eee1_446x358-300x241.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How We Treat Gum Disease<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe best approach to take in the fight against gum\ndisease is to prevent it in the first place. With daily brushing, flossing, and\nhealthy lifestyle habits, much of the bacteria-holding plaque can be removed.\nHowever, it\u2019s equally important that you visit Brooks Dental for a dental checkup\nand cleaning on a regular basis to keep plaque from building up and hardening\naround the gum line, opening the door for gum disease.<br><br>\nAlthough there is no cure for gum disease, we are\nfortunate enough to have Dr. Valerie Martins, a board-certified periodontist,\non our team at Brooks Dental to treat this condition and bring it under\ncontrol. With her advanced training and clinical knowledge, she ensures that\npatients with gum disease receive the necessary treatment to stop the infection\nand try to reverse the damage. Our dental hygienists work in tandem with Dr.\nMartins, treating the mild to moderate stages of gum diseaseand\nmaintaining the patient on a more frequent cleaning schedule. These treatments\ninclude non-surgical procedures called scaling and root planing, during which\nthe hygienist cleans underneath the gumline and removes plaque and tartar from\notherwise hard-to-reach areas. Our hygienists also oftentimes apply a localized\nantibiotic right into the gum tissue to aid in healing. In more severe stages\nof periodontal disease, Dr. Martins will treat the patient, employing&nbsp;a surgical approach to halt the process of disease which\nfacilitates a more stable oral environment.<br><br>\nWith nearly half of American adults with an advanced\nform of gum disease, everyone needs to be more aware of the signs of gum\ndisease and how to respond to it. Otherwise, we put not only our smile at risk\nbut also our overall well-being. Are you doing everything you can to prevent or\ntreat gum disease?
