The Wall Street Journal just came out with this article highlighting something dentists have known for years: oral health is closely connected to overall health.
This research continues to gain national attention. We believe it’s worth sharing with our dental community, and we encourage you to share it with your patients. The mainstream media is educating them, so use this as an opportunity to connect.

- The plaque connection: Dental plaque, a protective structure known as a biofilm that helps bacteria adhere to teeth and makes them more resistant to removal by saliva, mouth rinses and some antimicrobial agents. When plaque builds up, it can harden into tartar and trigger chronic gum inflammation.
