Summary; Gum Disease Linked to Many Diseases – Thousand Oaks Dentist Offers specialized treatment method with FDA- approved non-invasive gum treatment.
(Thousand Oaks) - Bleeding gums may indicate more than a dental health problem: current research links gum disease to heart attacks, strokes, low birth weight babies, pancreatic cancer, type II diabetes, respiratory disease, and systemic inflammations.
The link between gum disease and health problems is clear; 85 percent of adults in the US have some form of gum problems, from gingivitis (gum disease) and red, puffy, or bleeding gums to severe periodontal disease leading to tooth loss. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss.
Treating gum disease has historically been difficult with homecare remedies because the bacteria that cause this disease are hidden and protected beneath the gum line and create hard to penetrate `pockets.’ Getting medication to the source of the infection is nearly impossible. Now antimicrobial agents can be delivered to the source of the gum infection with a simple, comfortable homecare system- the Perio Protect Method™. This method delivers antimicrobial agents to the gum tissue and holds them there long enough to eradicate the bacteria causing the disease.
Dr. Rubin of Thousand Oaks sees the benefits of Perio Protect® everyday. “I‘ve had amazing results with the Perio Protect System! My personal patients have seen pocket reductions from 8 to 2mm.” (An 8 mm pocket is the area around the tooth that gets infected and indicates that a patient has severe gum disease. 1-2 mm pockets are within normal range). Patients can use this non-invasive method patients follow at home to maintain healthy gum tissue and keep gum disease at bay.
With control over the bacteria in the gum tissue, Dr Rubin’s patient’s, like tens of thousands across the U.S. and Canada, will protect their teeth and have a new way to protect their general health.
Dr. Rubin’s method is the result of more than 25 years of general dentistry practice.
