More than 75% of all adult Americans have some form of periodontal (gum) disease, a destructive infection that attacks and destroys the gum tissue, supporting connective fibers attaching gums to teeth, and underlying bone supporting the teeth. With gum disease now linked to larger health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, dementia, Alzheimer’s and rheumatoid arthritis, keeping your gums in excellent condition is critical for your overall well-being.
Due to road work of gas main installations, there is currently a detour on Schooley’s Mountain Road. To get to our office, please take the traffic light intersection of Mountain Ave, Schooley’s Mountain Road and Route 57. You currently cannot get onto Schooley’s Mountain Road from Newburg Road. This may change as they continue to work further down the street. So please allow extra time when coming in for your appointments.

This month we’re here to hit the topic of nutrition in light of the fact that March is the national nutrition awareness campaign. Nutrition is tightly bound to dental health in all of us, regardless of age. Nevertheless, in our children, the cyclical nature of nutrition and dental hygiene is perhaps of even higher importance on the grounds that the habits they form now and tastes that they develop now will have a lasting impact on their entire lives.
