"Your Mouth is Connected to your Body" Update from Dr Nijjar and Dr Ruchi

"Periodontal disease is independently associated with cardiovascular disease. Identification of periodontal disease as a risk factor for incident ischemic stroke raises the possibility that regular dental care utilization may reduce the stroke risk."

Translation? 

We already know that many people who have gum disease are also at risk for heart disease at some point in their lives. 

And now... we know that gum disease is a "risk factor" for strokes as well. This means that visiting Dr Nijjar and Dr Ruchi at their dental office in Fremont regularly -- could lower the risk of stroke. 



Yes. And there are so many other heath issues that we can be more at risk for if we do not go to the dentist regularly and control/prevent gum disease.

Here's a link to the full American Heart Association article: http://stroke.ahajournals.org/content/early/2018/01/12/STROKEAHA.117.018990

See you in the office soon. 

Keep well, Dr. Nijjar & Dr. Ruchi
