February also marks American Heart Month!
February 6th, 2012
You may remember our post from last week, when Dr. Bialecki and team discussed February being "National Dental Health Month." But did you know February is also American Heart Month?
It’s a great time to take notice of the health of your heart. Cardiovascular disease remains American's number one killer, claiming more lives than the rest of major causes of death, according to the American Heart Association. Studies have shown a correlation between gum disease and heart disease, underscoring the importance of good oral health care.
Visiting our Lake Arrowhead office regularly can help prevent gum disease or at least catch it in its early stages. And a healthy mouth begins with a visit to the office of Dr. Bialecki. If you have any questions about heart health, or about your ongoing dental treatment at our office, please give us a call.
