Unchecked Dental Disease Found to Actually Shorten Life in Some Cases

By: Jayden Adams

Dental disease and its effect on overall health has recently been in the news and health professionals are cautioned to advise their patients to schedule a dental checkup at least twice a year in order to avoid health risks that can be caused by disregarded dental health.

The subject of health and longevity can no longer exclude the issue of dental disease. Not just a minor ailment of the gums and teeth, it has been conclusively proven that much disease can begin in the mouth. Additionally, it has been found that unhandled dental infection can actually contribute to, or exacerbate other more harmful diseases that can seriously affect the quality of life and sometimes even shorten life expectancy.

Dr. Maddahi, Beverly Hills dentist, addresses all medical care professionals, â€oeIt has been proven that the relationship between dental care and overall health is symbiotic. All health practitioners must make every effort to understand this connection and take a role in providing patients with the information they require to address the issue of dental disease.”

According to a published article by Dr. Tom McGuire, President of the Dental Wellness Institute, recent scientific studies clearly demonstrate the harmful role gum disease plays in serious and life-threatening diseases. For example, moderate-to-severe gum disease can increase the risk of heart attack by as much as 25%, increase the risk of stroke by a factor of 10, increase the severity of diabetes, contribute to low pre-term birth weights, contribute to respiratory disease, interfere with proper digestion, play a role in osteoporosis, severely stress the immune system, lower resistance to other infections and actually reduce life expectancy.

â€oeFor twenty years I have been practicing dentistry and I am very relieved to see that other dental professionals have discovered and are publishing these facts that I have noticed over these years.”, says Dr. Maddahi. â€oeMy goal as a dentist is not to only affect the oral health of my patients but to assist them to lead a healthy, vibrant life, based on their overall health, as well. I urge my patients to take seriously their oral care and to vigilantly repair any trouble that is discovered in their regular checkups. This can lead to a healthier and therefore, happier, life for them and their families.”

Dr. Kourosh Maddahi, has been specializing in creating beautiful, natural smiles and superior dental health for 20 years and is located in Beverly Hills at 436 N. Roxbury Drive, Suite 202 and can be reached at 310-888-7797.
