Key reason 'found' for gum and heart disease link
Scientists say they have established one reason why gum disease may increase the risk of heart disease.

The link between gum and heart problems has long been recognised but it is unclear if poor oral health is simply a marker of a person's general wellbeing. UK and Irish experts now say bacteria enter the bloodstream via sore gums and deposit a clot-forming protein. The findings are being presented at a meeting of the Society for General Microbiology.

Earlier this year a Scottish study of more than 11,000 people found people who did not

brush their teeth twice a day were at increased risk of heart disease. It backed up previous findings suggesting a link, but researchers stressed the nature of the relationship still needed further analysis.

Protective platelets
Scientists from the University of Bristol working with the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland now suggest it is the Streptococcus bacteria - responsible for causing tooth plaque and gum disease - which may be to blame.

Their work shows this bacteria, once let loose in the bloodstream, makes a protein known as PadA which forces platelets in the blood to stick together and clot.

"When the platelets clump together they completely encase the bacteria. "This provides a protective cover not only from the immune system, but also from antibiotics that might be used to treat infection," said Professor Howard Jenkinson, who led the research.

"Unfortunately, as well as helping out the bacteria, platelet clumping can cause small blood clots, growths on the heart valves, or inflammation of blood vessels that can block the blood supply to the heart and brain." While maintaining good dental hygiene could minimise the risk, the team is also investigating how the platelet-activating function of the protein PadA can be blocked.

Professor Damian Walmsley, scientific adviser to the British Dental Association, said: "Research such as this makes a welcome contribution to further understanding the nature of the relationship between gum disease and heart disease. "It also underlines the high importance of brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, restricting your intake of sugary foods and drinks and visiting the dentist regularly in order to maintain good oral health."

The British Heart Foundation said that were other factors besides oral health which had a greater impact on heart health.

But their senior cardiac nurse Cathy Ross added that combining good oral health care "with a healthy diet, not smoking and taking part in plenty of physical activity will go a long way in helping you reduce your overall risk of heart disease".

What is gum disease?
Gum disease or periodontal disease is a chronic inflammation and infection of the gums that destroys the supporting bone and tissue around your teeth. It is the major cause of adult tooth loss, bad breath, and affects three out of four people after the age of 35. It provides a direct path for bacteria to enter your blood stream on a daily basis.

What causes gum disease throughout the mouth?
The most common causes are an over abundance of bacteria in the mouth, a weak immune system, a diet low in nutrients, a medical condition, and in some cases a wide variety of synthetic medicine. Our program will address each of these issues.

What do blood tests reveal about people with gum disease?
Gum disease can elevate the risk factors for heart disease and diabetes: cholesterol, hs-C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) and glucose levels. We screen for these before and after your periodontal treatment. If they are elevated after treatment there is a possibility of an underlying medical condition. Our goal is to make sure that your oral condition is NOT elevating these blood chemistries so your physician can make an accurate diagnosis. Heart attack, stroke, and diabetes are among the biggest heath issues we have today. Research shows that a 10% decrease in total cholesterol can reduce the incidence of heart disease by as much as 30%. Many times we see a decrease in cholesterol after periodontal treatment.

High sensitivity C-Reactive protein (hs-CRP) can become elevated when there is inflammation present such as inside your mouth or inside the blood vessels leading to your heart. This test can detect elevated hs-CRP on apparently healthy individuals that have no symptoms. Research shows that 50% of men and 64% of women that die suddenly from heart disease, had no previous symptoms, and have normal cholesterol. Therefore, leading medical centers use hs-CRP as one of the tests used in determining your risk of heart disease. Many times we see a significant decrease in hs-CRP after periodontal treatment.

Research shows that glucose levels rise and are hard to control in diabetics if they have periodontal disease. Physicians can better determine the proper amount of medication when periodontal disease is not present. Occasionally blood glucose levels significantly reduce after periodontal treatment.

What about my physician?
We encourage follow up care with your physician. Appropriate modification of risk factors (including high blood pressure, smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, and diet) is also necessary for stroke, heart attack, and diabetes prevention. Our screenings cannot detect all forms of cardiovascular disease and do not result in a medical diagnosis or replace regular contact and follow up with your physician.

The FDA approved screening tests we provide have the same level of accuracy that you would get from a clinical lab.
What are the warning signs of gum disease?

The dentist looks for red, swollen or tender gums that bleed easily when performing the dental exam, persistent bad breath, a frequent bad taste, and shifting teeth causing spacing or a change in the way teeth fit together when the patient bites. Inflammation is how the body fights infection. Many times patients have no discomfort with mild chronic infection until the disease has spread to a point where the tooth is unsalvageable and the health of the rest of the body is at risk. That's why it is advised to get frequent dental exams and preventive dental cleanings.

What does periodontal treatment involve?
In most cases of gum disease the treatment involves cleaning under the gums, which is called scaling and root planning. Occasionally we use gentle laser therapy which in most cases eliminates the need for painful and costly scalpel surgery. As adjuncts to treatment, university tested mouthwash, toothpaste, and pharmaceutical supplements have proven to be key elements in determining long term oral health.

How do you prevent gum disease?
As part of our service, we will design a personalized program of oral home care to meet your needs. We realize that most patients do not floss daily, so a proven and more effective user friendly program will be customized for you to follow.

Is maintenance important?
YES--The at home program we teach you along with a through dental cleaning and exam at 3-6 month intervals as determined by your dentist, will eliminate the possibility of periodontal disease affecting your overall health.
Heart Disease and Stroke #1 and #3 Killer

Research shows that the link between heart disease and gum disease is as strong as the link between heart disease and cholesterol, body weight, or smoking. Patients with gum disease were shown to have twice the risk of a heart attack and triple the risk of stroke. The bacteria responsible for periodontal disease can travel through your bloodstream to the arteries around your heart where they trigger a cycle of inflammation and arterial narrowing that contributes to heart attacks High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, cholesterol, and elevated glucose (blood sugar) are risk factors for heart disease and stroke. Periodontal disease can raise all 3 blood markers. As part of our service we screen to help identify your risk of heart disease and stroke before and after periodontal treatment. Many times blood chemistry improves after periodontal treatment and the Healthy Heart Dentistry® protocol.

Diabetes Mellitus-#6 Killer
Diabetics have twice the incidence of periodontal disease. It is estimated there are 6 million diabetics undiagnosed in the U.S. Periodontal diseases may contribute to the progression of prediabetes, and can worsen blood sugar control and increase susceptibility to infection in the current 21 million diabetics, projected to double in number by 2010. 54 million people have prediabetes and many of them will develop Type 2 diabetes within 10 years. As indicated, part of our service is screening for diabetes and prediabetes on patients with gum disease before and after periodontal treatment to help improve the health of all of our patients.

Osteoporosis
Studies suggest that osteoporosis may lead to tooth loss because the density of the bone that supports the teeth may be decreased, which means the teeth no longer have a solid foundation. Gum Disease adds to bone loss and speeds up the process.

Other Systemic Diseases
Any disease that interferes with the body's immune system may worsen the condition of the gums.

Preterm Low- Birth -Weight Babies
Severe periodontal disease in pregnant women is shown to have a sevenfold increase in the risk of delivering preterm, low–birth-weight babies. Researchers estimate that as many as 18 percent of the 250,000 premature low-weight infants born in the United States each year may be attributed to infectious oral disease. A much higher death occurs in premature, low birth weight newborns.

The emotional, social, and economic costs associated with these small babies are staggering. Hospital costs alone surpass $5 billion annually. When costs to society in terms of suffering and managing long-term disabilities often associated with prematurity are considered, this figure escalates dramatically.

Respiratory Disease
Bacterial respiratory infections are thought to be acquired through aspiration (inhaling) of fine droplets from the mouth and throat into the lungs. These droplets contain germs that can breed and multiply within the lungs to cause damage. If you have serious gum disease and lung problems, inhaling (aspirating) bacteria from your mouth into your lungs may result in aspiration pneumonia, a condition that's especially common in hospitals where patients may be sedated or have tracheal tubes. Many times patients notice an improvement in the occurrence of sinus infections after controlling their periodontal disease.

Stomach ulcers and cancer
Research indicates that Helicobacter pylori bacteria is associated with gum disease. These bacteria can cause duodenal ulcer disease and has been implicated in the development of gastric ulcers. Moreover, it has been associated with an increased risk for gastric cancer.

Pancreatic cancer
In one recent Harvard study, a 63% increase of pancreatic cancer was noted in men who had gum disease. In addition, people with a history of gum disease and recent tooth loss, have a 2.7-fold higher risk of this fatal cancer.

Overall Health
For many years dentists and hygienists have noticed that dental patients experience less sickness when they are free of periodontal disease, follow the custom designed home care program including neutraceuticals, and have dental exams and cleanings 2-4 times a year. Research is now providing ample evidence to back this up.

Neutraceuticals used during and after your periodontal health program to bolster your immune system. A Loma Linda University double blind study on people with gum disease and using Pharmdens’ Periotherapy product reported a significant decrease in

bleeding and pocket depth around the teeth within 30 days. A high absorbing calcium nutraceutical is used for bone health and osteoporosis protection. Go to: http://www.Pharmaden.net for additional information.

Bleeding gums are unveiling medical problems – it is not just about teeth and gums any longer

Dentist Dr. Richard Marill performs simple, inexpensive finger stick blood screening tests on patients with gingivitis and periodontal disease. According to the October issue of the Journal of Periodontology (study of gum and bone disease) regular cleanings and scaling and root planning does not reduce HsCRP levels(a major heart disease marker). By incorporating a process called the “Healthy Heart Dentistry Protocol”, along with scaling and root planning treatment, elevated levels of HbA1c (Blood sugar levels), cholesterol and high sensitivity C-Reactive protein (hsCRP) are significantly reduced in most cases. If elevated blood chemistry levels do not get better (rare) after these treatments, there may be additional underlying medical problems that the patient’s physicians will have to diagnose. Physicians have diagnosed and successfully treated patients that were found to be high risk for heart attack, stroke, prediabetes, diabetes, early colon cancer, GERD and several different intestinal issues to name a few.

According to a Harvard study having an elevated high cholesterol and high C- Reactive protein dramatically increases heart attack and stroke risk. If there is unsuspecting diabetes the risk factor for heart attack and stroke can be increased up to 9 times. The Harvard School of Public Health and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute found that periodontal disease was associated with an increased risk of cancer of the pancreas.

Research shows that gum disease can elevate HbA1c (blood sugar levels), cholesterol and high sensitivity C-Reactive protein (hsCRP).

According to the American Dental Association over 70% of Americans over 30 years old have some form of periodontal disease.

How many people are needlessly being medically treated by their physicians and taking medicine for elevated blood chemistry levels that could be easily reduced by the dentist? How many people are not being medically treated and taking the proper medicine for unsuspecting medical issues that could easily be screened for at the dental office?

Are you worried about cancer or heart attack

Have you seen your dentist latelly?
Good oral oral hygine may reduce your risks for cancer, heart attack and stroke!
There have been studies that taking care of your teeth and gums may lower your chances of developing several types of malignancies. There is an old adage, be true to your teeth or they will be false to you. Or if you ignore your teeth, they will just go away. While these sayings may be true, poor oral hygiene may do more than put you on the road to loosing all your teeth and having to get removable dentures.

A study in the June issue of The Lancet Oncology (which is a study of cancer), finds some men with a history of periodontal (gum) disease may be at greater risk for several types of cancer. In studying male health professional profiles, ages 40-75, researches found that compared to those without gum disease and those that did, men with a history of gum disease had a 14% greater risk of cancer, specifically lung, kidney, pancreatic and blood cancers. Interestingly, their increased risk persisted even in men who had never smoked.

The study adds to earlier research suggesting a link between periodontal disease and increased risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Dr. Richard Marill, a dentist in Alameda, focuses on “Heart Healthy Dentistry”, by looking at all the factors that cause periodontal disease, and its effect on the whole body, not just the teeth and gums, and recommending treatment to help control these potential life threatening diseases. Dr. Marill feels all these facts are just more reasons to visit your dentist regularly and keeping your mouth clean and healthy and this will eliminate some potential problems later in life.

There is evidence that inflamation is to blame
When you eat, the starches and sugars in the food combine with the bacteria in your mouth to form plaque. This plaque, if it is not removed, can cause tooth decay. If your are not taking care of your teethand cleaning them properly, bacteria can accumulate beneath your gums and can trigger an inflammatory response. The body, in response to this infection,generates an inflammation state to fight the infection and in doing so can cause more damage. This inflammation eventually creates pockets between your gums and teeth that fill with bacteria and inflammatory substances. The pocketseventually grow deeper and deeper and can destroy the connective tissue and bony structures that anchor the teeth. This will, in time, cause tooth loss. When this happens, the dangerous mix of bacteria and inflammatory substances can then access the bloodstream and travel throughout the body. This is the process that experts believe may link gum disease to systemic diseases, such as cancer, heart attacks and stroke.

How can you prevent gum disease
Removing plaque through daily brushing and flossing
and professional cleaning in a dental office, is the best way to minimize your risk. You should also try to reduce activities like smoking, eating an unhealthy diet, and grinding your teeth. Getting enough rest, reducing stress, drinking enough water and so forth, can also help minimize gum disease. Dr. Marill can design a personalized program for oral home care to fit with your individual needs.

Be Orally Healthy by Controlling Diabetes

The bad news: Unexpected complications come with being diabetic. And for those more than 20 million Americans suffering from the condition, most of them are still surprised when they are told that they have an increased risk of suffering other health disorders such as heart and kidney diseases.

Worse, people with uncontrolled diabetes have higher-than-normal risks for suffering from oral health problems. This is brought about by the increased glucose levels in the saliva that serve as food and sustenance for bacteria to thrive and eventually bring about gum diseases and tooth decay.

More bad news: More oral health risks come with an uncontrolled diabetic condition. These risks come in the form of abnormal healing of one’s oral tissues, dry mouth, and development of fungal infection, just to name a few. Periodontitis, or the term used to refer to advanced gum disease, destroys the bones and the soft tissues that support your teeth, leading to a heightened blood sugar level and eventually exacerbating your diabetic condition.

The good news: One can still do something about one’s oral hygiene to prevent the occurrence of these health risks:

Do not miss to properly brush your teeth after every meal.
Floss at least once every day.
Talk to your dentist about your diabetic condition, informing him of your medications and treatments.

Before any dental surgery or treatment, be sure to ask your physician to talk to your dentist so they could properly coordinate and discuss relevant matters such as whether there is a need for you to alter meal schedules or change your insulin doses.

Do not smoke. If you’re a diabetic and you smoke, you are 20 times more likely to develop oral diseases like periodontitis, gum problems, and tooth cavities.

Now that you know that there is a direct association between your blood sugar level and your oral health, make sure to take care of both.

Treat Periodontitis to Help Prevent Arterial Disease

Research shows that gum disease can increase your risk of atherosclerosis, but preventive steps and regular cleanings can help. It’s been well established that gum disease can be a sign of cardiovascular problems. A study published in the Dec. 1 issue of the American Journal of Cardiology shows that gum disease is often a sign of inflammation—high sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) levels—and is common among those with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors.

A study in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology Journal (online Dec. 12) shows that treating gum disease and lowering the oral bacterial load can reduce your risk of atherosclerosis (the build-up of plaque in the arteries).

Researchers examined the carotid arteries of 35 otherwise healthy people who had mild to moderate periodontal disease before and after having the gum disease treated. One year after treatment, researchers observed a reduction in the thickening of the blood vessels (associated with atherosclerosis) and a reduction in oral bacteria and immune inflammation.

"There is a lot of literature out there suggesting that periodontal disease increases the risk of heart disease. The association has to do with chronic inflammation," says Leslie Cho, MD, editor-in-chief of Heart Advisor.

Inflammation and Heart Risk
Inflammation is the body’s response to injury or infection. It has been linked to atherosclerosis and may increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Inflammation can also cause "overactivation" of the immune system, which may increase the risk of illness. The good news is that dental inflammation and infection generally can be treated with regular and routine dental care. "Getting your teeth checked regularly and flossing your teeth can lower your cardiovascular risk," says Dr. Cho.

Good dental care appears to decrease the levels of CRP in the bloodstream, which may lower the risk of a variety of conditions, such as heart disease and stroke. Research has linked cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular disease to poor dental health. In fact, bacteria that are commonly found in areas of dental inflammation and infection have been isolated in the atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries.

A variety of mechanical aids, such as electric toothbrushes, are available for patients who have lost some of their manual dexterity. People should visit their dentist at least twice a year, though patients with more advanced forms of periodontal disease may require more frequent evaluations and cleanings.

Risk Factors for Gum Disease
Poor oral hygiene caused by improper brushing techniques, or not brushing and flossing regularly, can encourage the development of gum disease, but there are other factors that can increase your risk as well:

Smoking – Tobacco smoking has not only been linked to numerous medical problems including throat and lung cancer, but it also dramatically increases the risk of gum detachment, bleeding, and severe periodontal disease.

Medications – Gum tissue is sensitive to estrogen, and medications that increase the estrogen levels in your body, such as hormone replacement therapy, can increase your risk of gum disease. In addition, some blood pressure medications, including calcium channel blockers, can cause an overgrowth of gum tissue and increase your risk of developing gum disease.

Diet – A healthy diet rich in antioxidants can decrease your risk of developing gum disease. In addition, try to avoid eating sugary foods and limit your alcohol intake to one drink per day for women and two for men.

Pharmaden testimonials

Our diabetic patients with tx and pharmaden - blood sugar levels are more stable than have been for years plus he reports his glaucoma eye pressure is greatly reduced. Another woman who says since using Periotherapy and Osteotherapy her hips no longer have any kind of pain to the point she brought it up to us with a smile.

Dr. Schefdore, Pharmaden products have improved periodontal results as compared to using non surgical perio treatment alone: healing is faster, bleeding and post treatment sensitivity is much less, and perio relapse is way down. Since the year 2000 we have helped hundreds of patients in my office gain the benefits of health gums by incorporating Pharmaden products and more recently your entire Healthy Heart Dentistry Program
THANK YOU, Dr. Greg Page Chicago 312-342-0411

I have been an advocate of the Pharmaden products for about 1.5 years. It is an integral part of my perio program. Because of the nature of my practice I get blood chemistry panels on nearly everyone including CRP, cholesterol, glucose, etc. I have found significant increases in CRP levels and have referred these patients to their physicians for further follow up of organic diseases they were unaware of. Needless to say these patients have been very grateful to me. Their cardiologists approve of me using them because they see the connection between perio inflammation, elevated CRP and heart disease. Insurance companies see this as well. I cannot conceive of not using the phamaceuticals because we see the difference in healing of periodontal tissues. I have always had an advanced perio program in my practice and these products are icing on the cake. All I can say is that it is your loss personally and professionally by not incorporating this program. Disclaimer: I have nothing to gain financially by stating this.

I have watched the DVD of Schefdore's one day program on perio and the links to systemic health. I was impressed by how he is thinking, and I think he is worth seeing. There is a wealth of information and inspiration here. We have adopted the "Zero tolerance for bleeding gums" philosophy advocated by Ron Schefdore in our office, and our patients have been more receptive to perio treatment than ever before. The staff can understand zero tolerance. If they are bleeding, we treat them.
Greg Sawyer D.D.S.

We have seen tremendous results with our perio program by incorporating Dr. Schefdore’s Healthy Heart dentistry program. We feel it is largely contributed to the use of Pharmaden nutraceuticals. One particular case involved a smoker with severe bone loss. After therapy, she gained 5 mm of attachment in areas and has had no bleeding at maintenance visits. In addition, all mobility has stabilized. She also feels the nutraceuticals are instrumental in controlling a problem she could not previously control. In fact with all of our patients bleeding is reduced or eliminated, and we feel we are providing better care this way. We no longer need to settle for bleeding prophys and would not have a great perio program without this program.

Dear Dr. Schefdore
I have been taking Periotherapy for the past 2 months and I am very pleased with the results—I saw my dentists one week ago and she commented my gums are healthier than normal. I reminded her I began taking Periotherapy. It certainly helped me
Thanks, Dr Schefdore, for a great product Richard Samaha M.D.

Having done Ron’s step-by-step program is soooo effective—like nothing I have seen in 22 years. After the staff training DVD we now have a very high conversion rate from bloody prophys into full periodontal programs. The DVD shows the approach, verbiage, and visual presentation that makes all the difference. I had my patients use other nutraceuticals without the same results. This provides for healthier lives by providing better dentistry. THANK YOU

I am a medical doctor, a psychiatrist. I would like to order your Pharmaden's Osteotherapy Nutraceutical from you wholesale for my patients because antidepressants tend to cause osteoporosis.
Thank you, Dr. Susan Katz

Dear Dr. Schefdore,

I started administering the blood screening as well as nutraceutical patient referral only a couple of months ago. Currently I do not really have too many interesting stories but I'm sure in time I'll have plenty. One patient that we just stared treating had the hsCRP at 22. We put him on Pharmaden supplements at his first appointment and I just saw him last week for the actual treatment. I was completely shocked to see how much his gum tissue improved on Pharmaden alone even before starting the treatment. I could barely get him to bleed upon probing whereas initially I didn't even have to "touch" him for him to bleed spontaneously. I've been practicing for over seven years and have never experienced anything like that before, or heard about the possibility of it for that matter.

“With our Zero Tolerance for Bleeding approach we now treat the bleeding gums on patients that previously were just told to “floss more” after receiving their 6 month prophy. You can imagine the difference when prophies become 2, 3, or 4 quads of scaling and root planning. This isn’t aggressive treatment either. This is what the periodontal standards demand. The Pharmaden products are a perfect fit in the treatment plan and we have way over 90% acceptance of our periodontal therapy after the instructional DVD and the nutritional supplementation with Pharmaden. I never would have believed this if someone had told me that this was possible. You might even double your hygiene production with this program-- I know we did. What’s even better is that we know for sure that we are adding years onto our patients’ lives.

Dr. Schefdore,
I just wanted to tell you thank you for your enlightenment on Cardio-CRP and the Pharmaden products. We are now promoting comprehensive care to our patients in a whole new way. Before starting periodontal treatment we have our patients tested for C-CRP and those at high risk for diabetes also receive an HbA1c test. We are giving and receiving many referrals to the medical doctors in the area.
THANK YOU-- Dr. Ross Anderson

THANK YOU so much Dr. Schefdore . When I went back to my periodonist after going through your program he said I did not need any of the periodontal surgery he told me I needed 4 months previous!! I feel much better taking the Pharmaden pills. I am telling all my friends
Nina Donell

Not only did my bleeding gums clear up but your blood screening detected I was a diabetic. My CRP reduced 90% after your program. Thank you Dr. Schefdore for sharing your screening results with my physician. You probably saved my life
Richard Mueller

For 30 years my gums bled when getting a cleaning at the dentist and a little at home. In only 5 weeks going through your program all the bleeding is gone along with my bad breath that I was so embarrassed about—WOW! Even my blood sugar was significantly reduced—who would of guessed!
Mrs. Krusinski

My mouth feels better than it has in 57 yrs. I wish the other dentists in my life would of taught me this easy and more effective approach of taking care of my gums and breath. Even my blood chemistry has improved. I have already referred several of my friends and will refer many more.
Sincerely, Karen Alluni

I was being treated by a periodontist and still had bleeding and many 4-5 mm pocket depths even though I was doing everything recommended. After 3 months on your program my periodontist said my pocket depths are mostly 1-2mm with only a few 3 mm non bleeding pockets. I never had a measurement of 1mm before this program! This simple therapy saved me a lot of money and the pain of more treatment that the periodontist wanted to do.
Thank you so much,
Cindy Neighbor
