Let’s Talk Links…
Based on a new study, poor oral health may cause rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers from the University of Louisville determined that poor oral health can raise the risk of rheumatoid arthritis based on the presence of an enzyme that is around when a person has gum disease. Also, fatty acids from bacteria present in gum disease may cause Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS)-related lesions and tumors in the mouth. The information comes from a study by Case Western Reserve University. More reason to make an appointment for that overdue hygiene visit!

Speaking of Smiling…
Did you know? Smiling contributes to improved health by releasing oxytocin into the bloodstream. Oxytocin is a hormone known to lead to a feeling of contentment and a sense of bonding. When you smile, you activate your pleasure centers. You can literally make yourself happy by smiling. At our office we believe that a healthy, beautiful smile says a lot about a person!
Dental Fun Fact
Scientists use teeth to identify features and history specific to each person. Teeth reveal a person’s age, what they eat and drink, and even where they lived. Teeth also are used to identify specific health issues, past illnesses, and times of stress. Teeth record an individual’s personal history!
