Shelby Township Dental News Regular Cleanings And Heart Health

Visiting Ray McKinley DDS & Brittany McKinley-Holloway DDS — McKinley General, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry in Shelby Township for semiannual dental checkups and cleanings can seem inconvenient and unnecessary at times. But you may benefit in ways you never anticipated.

A recent study showed that men and women who had their teeth professionally cleaned at least once every two years were 24 percent less likely to have a heart attack, compared to those who skipped appointments.

While the study could simply reflect that people who dutifully schedule regular dental cleanings also practice healthy habits like exercising and eating right, there is extra evidence of a relationship between oral health and heart health.

Common oral ailments like inflammation stemming from gum disease are connected to hardening of the arteries and other tissue inflammations which can lead to heart attacks and strokes.

Former American Heart Association President Ralph Sacco, MD, (who did not participate in the study described previously) said:

“Something as simple as having good dental hygiene – brushing, flossing, and having regular cleanings – may be good for your heart and brain health.“

While the study found that patients who schedule cleanings yearly receive the most health benefits, doctor McKinley of Ray McKinley DDS & Brittany McKinley-Holloway DDS — McKinley General, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry recommends coming in for checkups and cleanings every six months to catch potential troubles early, saving patients time and money. Regular dental cleanings also brighten and whiten teeth, making your smile look its best.

At Ray McKinley DDS & Brittany McKinley-Holloway DDS — McKinley General, Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry in Shelby Township MI, we want all our patients to enjoy excellent health. Our services include general and cosmetic dentistry. Call for an appointment today!
