Want to avoid pneumonia this winter? New research suggests seeing a dentist |
|
We all know that having pneumonia can prevent you from smiling. However, you might be surprised to find out that dental care can help prevent pneumonia, according to a study conducted by researchers from Division of Infectious Disease at Virginia Commonwealth University.
After analyzing records of over 26,000 patients nationwide, researchers found that individuals who saw a dentist every six months had lower rates of pneumonia than those who did not see a dentist. The difference was a startling 86 percent.
While this may seem like an unlikely connection, the study’s author notes that lung health and oral health are known to be linked. When unhealthy, the mouth is an ideal environment for infection and harmful bacteria to thrive. Regular dental care helps control bacteria and maintain a healthy oral environment, which is an essential part of a healthy body. |

Sacramento, CA, dentists, Drs. Kosta J. and Kristen J. Adams, are committed to helping patients in the area achieve and maintain great dental health. We believe that with the right knowledge and a trusted dental staff, patients can seek the services necessary to look and feel their best. Our state-of-the-art dental facility provides comprehensive dental services including general, preventative, and cosmetic procedures.
General dentistry procedures assist with the health of the smile. Oral health is an important foundation for a beautiful smile. Patients should be taking care of their smile at home between dental appointments, which include brushing and flossing several times a day. This helps in removing plaque and food particles from the surfaces of the teeth and gum tissue that can encourage tooth decay and periodontal disease. Patients can then visit their dentists regularly for continued general and preventive dentistry services.
