Not only is poor dental health associated with heart disease, new research shows that it may also be associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's!

A few bullet points from the article:

- The loss of teeth and gum disease may be associated with a reduction in brain volume that reflects the atrophy of brain tissue, a new study shows.
- The affected area of the brain is involved in cognition, thus linking dental problems to loss of cognitive function and Alzheimer’s disease.
- For people without severe gum disease, having fewer teeth was linked to brain volume loss.
- Although the findings suggest a strong link between dental issues and brain volume loss, whether one causes the other is unclear.

Luckily, preventing gum disease is easy! Make sure to keep good oral hygiene by brushing AND flossing at least twice a day. It is also important to see your dentist for regular dental cleanings every 6 months. Make sure to set an appointment up with our office if you are due for your cleaning. We look forward to seeing you soon!

It's hard to avoid all the Halloween candy, so here are some tips to enjoy all of the sweets without the cavities:

Swish Away the Treats – Encourage your child to swish with water after indulging in sugary treats. Choose treats that are consumed quickly and can be rinsed from the teeth with water, such as chocolate treats (yum!).

Make a Plan Ahead of TIme– Avoid all gummy or taffy treats that can stick in the pits and grooves of teeth, as well as, between the teeth. Avoid sour candy that has a higher acid content and can break down tooth enamel. Discuss how much candy you child is allowed to eat prior to partaking in their trick or treat festivities.

Start a Switch Witch Tradition! Create a tradition where the switch witch visits your house and swaps you child’s candy for a toy, book, video or something on your child’s wish list.

Wishing you all a happy, safe, and cavity free Halloween!
