As our loved ones age, it’s natural to worry about their health, safety, and quality of life. But one area that often gets overlooked is oral care. Whether a senior is living in a nursing facility, assisted living, or still at home but struggling with manual dexterity, the consequences of poor oral hygiene can be serious. Neglecting daily brushing and cleaning doesn’t just affect the mouth—it can increase the risk of pneumonia, heart disease, diabetes complications, and other systemic health problems. The good news? With attention and proactive care, many of these issues are preventable.

🚨 Men, your gums may be impacting more than just your smile… 🦷➡️💪

Did you know gum disease doesn’t just stay in your mouth? It’s been linked to heart disease ❤️, diabetes 🩸, Alzheimer’s 🧠, and even cancer 🎗️. But here’s something most people don’t realize: MEN are hit harder than women. While about 38% of women develop gum disease, a staggering 56% of men do.

And the risks go beyond cavities and bad breath:
⚠️ Gum disease has been tied to erectile dysfunction
⚠️ It can worsen prostate inflammation and cancer risk
⚠️ It raises the likelihood of heart disease by 20%
⚠️ Men with gum disease are 14% more likely to develop cancer

The good news? Taking care of your gums can protect your whole body health. Regular cleanings, daily brushing & flossing, and treatment by a periodontist can lower these risks and keep you healthier for years to come.

💡 Little-known fact: Men are 49% more likely than women to develop kidney cancer, and gum disease can amplify that risk.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call us today at (919) 518-8222 to schedule your visit — your gums and your body will thank you 🙌

💄 Your hormones don’t just influence your mood…
They shape your SMILE too.

Women experience unique oral health challenges that most people never hear about — especially when it comes to gum disease. Let’s talk about the silent connection between your hormones and your gums 👇

👧 Puberty: A surge in estrogen and progesterone increases blood flow to your gums. This can lead to redness, tenderness, or even bleeding — even if your oral hygiene hasn’t changed.

🩸 Menstruation: Some women experience menstruation gingivitis just before their period. Gums may swell, bleed, or even develop small sores — and it typically disappears once the cycle starts.

🤰 Pregnancy: Pregnant women are at increased risk for gum inflammation. That "pregnancy glow"? It includes your gums, too — but not always in a good way.

🌙 Menopause & Post-Menopause: Estrogen decline can lead to bone loss in the jaw, putting women at higher risk for tooth loss and periodontal disease.

🧠 3 Little-Known Facts Every Woman Should Know:

1. Declining estrogen can reduce collagen production, which affects gum elasticity and healing.
2. Gum disease can worsen symptoms of osteoporosis.
3. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) may help slow bone loss in the jaw and reduce the risk of periodontal issues for postmenopausal women — though it’s not a substitute for great oral care.

✨ Bottom line? Your smile deserves care through every hormonal shift.
✅ Keep up your hygiene
✅ Watch for signs like bleeding, loose teeth, or chronic bad breath
✅ Visit your periodontist regularly (especially during hormonal changes!)

Want whiter teeth without extra effort? 😁
What if we told you that your next snack could actually brighten your smile? ✨ Keep reading for 5 everyday foods that naturally whiten your teeth — no whitening strips required! 🦷👇

🍓 1. Apples & strawberries
These juicy fruits aren’t just delicious — they’re powerful smile-brighteners! Apples help scrub away plaque, while strawberries contain malic acid (found in toothpaste!) to lift surface stains, even from coffee ☕.

🧀 2. Cheese
Cheese lovers, rejoice! Hard cheeses not only boost calcium for stronger enamel, but also trigger saliva production to rinse away stain-causing debris. Bonus points if you pair it with an apple! 🍏

🍍 3. Pineapple
Pineapple contains bromelain — an enzyme also found in professional whitening products! It helps gently break down stains and brighten your smile while satisfying your sweet tooth 🍍💛.

🥬 4. Celery
This crunchy veggie acts like nature’s toothbrush. Its fibrous texture scrubs the teeth while boosting saliva to flush out stain-causing particles. Plus, it's great for your gums too! 🪥🥗

💧 5. Water
Don’t underestimate the power of H2O. Drinking water throughout the day washes away pigment from foods like berries, coffee, and red wine — and keeps your mouth’s pH balanced 🌊.

Whitening your smile might be easier (and tastier) than you think! Have questions about professional whitening or oral health? Give us a call at (919) 518-8222 — we're here to help Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Wake Forest and beyond! 📞🦷

🚨 Think your dental implant is a one-and-done solution? Not quite — without proper care, it can develop a serious condition called peri-implantitis 🦷⚠️

So what is peri-implantitis?
It’s an infection and inflammation around a dental implant that affects both the gums and the bone supporting the implant. Left untreated, it can cause bone loss and even lead to implant failure 😣

Swipe through this real patient case to see what peri-implantitis looks like — and how we treat it:
📸 1st image: After initial implant placement — healthy and secure
📸 2nd image: A few years later — the patient developed peri-implantitis due to smoking and poor oral hygiene. Bone loss and infection became visible
📸 3rd image: After targeted laser treatment with our advanced Waterlase technology — infection cleared, healing begins
📸 4th image: Final result with the crown in place — but ongoing oral hygiene is essential to keep it healthy 🪥🧼

Causes of peri-implantitis include:
👉 Poor oral hygiene
👉 Smoking
👉 Occlusal trauma (excess pressure on the implant)
👉 Medical conditions that affect healing, like diabetes

At North Raleigh Periodontics, we treat peri-implantitis using Waterlase Laser Therapy, which:
🧼 Clears deep bacteria
🦴 Regenerates bone and gum tissue
🩹 Minimizes pain and speeds recovery
😌 Saves implants when caught early

If you notice swelling, bleeding, or tenderness around your implant — don’t ignore it. Early treatment can make all the difference.

🦷🎆 Founding Fathers, Founding Fillings? 🎆🦷
Tomorrow we celebrate freedom—but today we’re taking a bite out of history!

Did you know that George Washington didn’t have wooden teeth? 🇺🇸
That’s right! While it’s a popular myth, his dentures were actually made from ivory, human teeth, and even lead. Washington suffered from dental problems his whole life and had multiple sets of dentures—none of them made of wood!

Here are some more tooth truths from Revolutionary times:

🔹 Paul Revere, known for his midnight ride, was also one of America’s first dentists! He made dentures and even helped identify a fallen friend after battle by a bridge he had crafted—one of the first known uses of forensic dentistry.

🔹 In the 1700s, dental care was primitive at best. No floss, no implants, and certainly no numbing agents like we have today. Most treatments were done by barbers or blacksmiths! 😬

🔹 Thomas Jefferson was one of the few Founding Fathers who kept most of his teeth, thanks in part to good hygiene—he brushed daily and used toothpicks made from twigs. 🌿

Let’s just say… we’re grateful for modern implants, floss, and sedation! 😅

💥 Enjoy the Fourth of July, and remember—freedom includes the freedom to smile with confidence!
