- Completes a Periodontology course in order to accurately and competently assess and treat your oral health (both healthy and diseased), so they can “just clean your teeth”

- Completes a Histology course in order to understand how your teeth started forming in utero before you were even born, so they can “just clean your teeth”

- Completes courses regarding complex medical conditions in order to understand how conditions like heart disease and diabetes affect your oral health, so they can “just clean your teeth”

- Completes training on to***co cessation in order to arm you with tools to help you fight your to***co habits, so they can “just clean your teeth”

More than “just a cleaning”…

A recent study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association (2025) revealed that DNA from oral bacteria, particularly Viridans streptococci, was present in nearly 50% of examined coronary artery plaques. The bacteria were organized in biofilms — dense, protective communities that resist the immune system and persist over time. Researchers suggest that disturbances in these biofilms may trigger inflammation and plaque rupture, critical events that can lead to heart attacks.

This discovery strengthens the connection between oral health and cardiovascular disease. Poor dental hygiene and untreated gum infections may allow oral microbes to enter the bloodstream, infiltrate arteries, and contribute to systemic inflammation.

Maintaining healthy teeth and gums is more than cosmetic; it could be a crucial step in preventing heart disease.
