It’s Not JUST About Teeth, It’s Also about Whole Body Life and Death
Back to our missing tooth. The tooth that grows down into the missing tooth’s space is now threatened by gum disease because of its awkward, poor position. The space where the missing tooth was creates a trap for food and bacteria that gives you an absolute fit while trying to keep clean.
Gum disease is an infection that spreads from the gums into the body, doubling the risk for heart disease, heart attack and multiple other health related problems. It really is something that effects how long you live.
So literally, what was once “just a missing tooth” in the back can now be life threatening. And, if one tooth missing can cause this many problems, multiple missing teeth can cripple you.
Missing teeth change the way you chew for the worse…your comfort in chewing diminishes, sometimes so severely that eating becomes a pain….a pain you are forced to live with every day of your life….a pain that doesn't get better by itself….. a pain that only gets worse.
The more teeth you have missing, the worse it is……..AND
Diseased Teeth And Gums Threaten Your Health …(AND YOUR FAMILY'S HEALTH!)
Some people hold on to teeth that are diseased because they don't want to lose their teeth. For some patients, this is something that diminishes their long term health. In fact, not many dentists understand the significance of this and watch as chronic infections stay around the teeth and gums contributing to long term medical problems.
Sometimes, teeth and gums are so diseased they should be removed because they threaten the patients own health and, worse, the health of the ones they love the most!
These same bacteria you have with these infections are infectious to others around you--such as your closest family members, spouses, and partners.
An explanation: The bacteria on your teeth and in your gums travel to other parts of the body, wreaking havoc along the way, creating such conditions as:
Heart Disease is worsened Heart Attack risks are increased –up to 200%
Stroke risk is increased Worsened arthritis
Increased low birth weight in babies Pre-disposes you to illness generally
Generalized decreased energy to cope with life An Increased chance of pancreatic cancer
Worsened diabetic conditions-more difficult to control and maintain
Increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s
Predisposes denture wearers to nursing home confinement
We know it is this bad. And even more research is being done in this field. (It is likely that the effects of oral disease are far more dangerous than we what presently know right now.)
Now here is the real kicker: those with diseased teeth and gums can and do spread these bacteria to their spouses, children and family members.
Who doesn't share a spoon or glass or bit of food? According to some studies the chances are about 70% that people who live together will "share" the same bacteria. Who hasn't experienced one member of the family getting the flu and subsequently everyone else in the family does too!
Given these statistics it is crucial that every family member should work to attain and maintain dental health. It is just the right thing to do. No sane person wants to contaminate his/her spouse and or children.
By the way, nothing else says “do this for yourself and do it right now” more than the success stories of our other patients. Here are just a few (many more are at our website www.Dental911.us).
"When I first saw my dentist with my five hopeless teeth, I was certain that there would be no option other than dentures. Next best would seem to be extensive bridgework. I was pleased and enthusiastic at the possibility of implants.
The best help was Dr. Menard's careful explanation of the future work. At the time it was all hard to imagine. However, as the work progressed it was systematic and obvious. One of the most interesting parts of the adventure was to see the actual plaster molds of my jaw with all the new work in place.
Now the implants have been well used and admired for seven years. I am now 75 years old with 20+ years of Diabetes, so an ok was needed from my M.D. All went well during and after the procedure. I observe that Dr. Menard has fine dental skills, also people skills. Besides these qualities, he has the artistic skills of Michelangelo and the craftsmanship of Paul Revere.
I am proud and pleased to recommend Dr. Menard's work and the adventures in general to anyone."

"I was amazed at how easy it was. It ached a little that night after surgery but beyond that there was no pain - the very opposite of what I imagined. Cost is an issue for me, as it is with a lot of people. I am willing to forgo going somewhere else just to save a little more or have better
insurance coverage. My comfort and the quality of the work is the most important. Considering my caliber of teeth, I know I am going to need more work. I will definitely do it here."

"It is virtually painless (in fact, I often doze in the chair while they work on my teeth). I have a quick recovery time and have never had problems afterwards."Martha, General Care

"This is my story and how it begins with fillings, crowns, bridges, unable to eat certain foods and a limited smile. Finally, I realized it was time to decide between dentures or implants. After a great deal of thought, dentures were not the solution.
I obtained all the information I could on implants and implant procedures. One day I received an advertisement in the mail from Dr. Menard. I waited several days before making my appointment. The receptionist gave me a warm welcome. I found the reception room and dental rooms very neat and clean. Dr. Menard was pleasant and explained in full detail about the procedure.
I have my implants now. My smile is back and I am able to eat a variety of foods. Dr. Menard and the staff were wonderful and client throughout the procedure."
