Your Mouth: Gateway to Overall Health

The link between your mouth and overall health is becoming more
evident. Developing a good routine of brushing, flossing and
seeing your dentist regularly can help you maintain good health
into your sunset years.


Dr. Chris Marchack of Pasadena Prosthodontics
describes oral systemic health, and the link between periodontal
disease and other health conditions, from stroke and heart attack
to infertility.   


He covers dental health for all ages - from kids (he'll share a
story that could convince the little ones in your life to get
started on a life-long solid brushing routine) to
senior-citizens, and how taking prescription drugs can impact
dental health.


You may also be surprised to learn the value of having healthy
teeth and gums when recovering from heart valve and knee or hip
replacement surgeries.


"There's definitely a correlation between good dental hygiene
and
infections," said Dr. Chris.


Along with seeing patients, Dr. Chris trains dentists and speaks
to other dental professionals around the world. For more
