Daily Oral Hygiene: Put Your Heart Into It in Comstock Park

Top Comstock Park Family Dentists Attention dental patients: brushing twice daily may help reduce your risk of heart disease. Scientists, dentists, and cardiologists have known for many years that there is a link between inflammation in the mouth (gum disease) and heart problems, However, a recent study studied oral health habits and heart disease risk. Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry can help with daily oral hygiene. Science Daily reported on the study which was published in the British Medical Journal.

I quote from the Science Daily article:

“The authors, led by Professor Richard Watt from University College London, analyzed data from over 11,000 adults who took part in a Scottish Health Survey. The research team analyzed data about lifestyle behaviors such as smoking, physical activity, and oral health routines.”

“Once the data was adjusted for established cardio risk factors, the researchers found that participants who reported less frequent toothbrushing had a 70 percent extra risk of heart disease compared to individuals who brushed their teeth twice a day.”

The Scottish survey is one of many that substantiates the link between oral health and overall vitality. Simply put: you aren’t healthy unless your gums and teeth are healthy.

It doesn’t matter if you are a lean-distance runner with a pulse of fifteen beats a minute and a blood pressure of 100 over 60. It doesn’t matter if you are a vegan who has eaten a nutritionally balanced, low-fat diet for the past five years. If you have inflamed gums and tooth decay, you are at risk for detrimental problems in other areas of the body.

The phone number for Eric Hull Aesthetic & General Dentistry is 616-784-2377. If you have concerns about your oral health, I invite you to schedule an examination today.

Perhaps your teeth and gums are healthy but you wish your smile was more attractive. We can help you there also with a cosmetic dental smile makeover. Porcelain veneers, crowns, inlays/onlays, and orthodontia are all available to solve any cosmetic issues you wish to have corrected.

If you have a small child who has not yet visited a dentist, it is important to schedule an exam today. My friendly and thorough team and I will help keep your child’s smile beautiful for life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign!

Are you wondering what Invisalign treatment is really like, and what effect it will have on your day-to-day activities? Will it slur your speech? Will people know you’re in treatment? You’re not alone in your concerns! Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull and the rest of our team thought we’d share this list of questions and answers for anyone considering Invisalign treatment at Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry.

How exactly does Invisalign work?

Using 3-D computer imaging technology, Invisalign creates a series of custom-made, clear aligners exclusively for your teeth, based on the treatment plan that we specify for you. Each aligner moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, then replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.

Will I experience pain during treatment?

Most people experience temporary discomfort for a few days after a new aligner is placed. This feeling of pressure is normal and is a sign that Invisalign is working by sequentially moving your teeth to their final destination.

How often must I wear my aligners?

Aligners should be worn all day, except when eating, brushing, and flossing.

Will my speech be affected by the aligners?

As with any orthodontic treatment, aligners may temporarily affect your speech. If this does happen, your tongue will adjust within a day or two and your speech should return to normal.

 

If you would like to hear more about options to restore your smile, call our office to schedule a complimentary consultation today.

5 Tips For Grand Rapids Residents With Mouth Sores

Categories: Oral Health

Prevent Mouth Sores Grand Rapids

When Dr. Stewart and Dr. Hull’s patients get mouth sores, we advise them to evaluate what they’re eating and make some changes. By following these tips, you too can avoid the discomfort of eating and help to increase the speed of healing.

  1. Eat soft or pureed foods. Don’t worry, you won’t have to eat baby food – plenty of adult dishes fit the bill:

Cream soups
Yogurt
Hot cereal
Mashed potatoes
Puddings

  1. Keep your meals bland for a while. We know it’s no fun, but watch out for overly spicy, tart, salty or acidic foods while you have a mouth sore.
  2. Also, keep it cool. Eat only food that is at room temperature or is served chilled.
  3. Use a straw so that whatever you are drinking can bypass the mouth sore altogether.
  4. Try to moisten dry foods. This can be done by adding sauces, dressings, and gravy to your meals.

We hope that these suggestions will help you the next time you suffer from a mouth sore. If you are looking for a dentist in the Belmont, Comstock Park, Grand Rapids, Sparta, Walker or Rockford, MI area, consider our practice, Stewart and Hull Aesthetic and General Dentistry. We have been serving Comstock Park since 1974. Call us at 616-827-7019 to schedule an examination and consultation. We offer a complete menu of general and cosmetic dental procedures including:
