Good News; Gum Disease Treatment Links to Improvements in Other Medical Conditions

Here’s good news for people in Deerfield Beach – gum disease treatment can be linked to improvements in other health conditions including coronary artery disease, diabetes and arthritis.

Stated in the report, “people who were treated for periodontal disease had lower healthcare costs and fewer hospitalizations for other medical conditions compared to those whose gum disease went untreated, a new study has found.” Read the full report here.

While scientifically based direct links have not yet been made, indirectly, it does imply that people who take better care of their dental hygiene, also take better care of their overall health.

Preventative health is so important these days. Taking care of your body today impacts not only your health in the future, but should also limit the costs of your healthcare in the future. That’s great for your body and for your wallet!
