Dental and general heath
Julie strongly believes preventative dental care is essential to maintaining good general health.
“I have always had patients with diabetes come to me for help with their predisposition to periodontal disease.
“More recently, cardiologists have highlighted the link between gum disease (periodontal disease) and heart health. I’ve observed that patients under the care of cardiologists now purposefully seek out experienced highly trained dental hygienists as a heart health essential.
“Eliminating existing periodontal disease is now part of the preventative treatment advice for patients who have had heart attacks, heart disease or are prone to these conditions. This aspect of preventative care is close to my heart as my family has been personally affected by heart disease. Prevention is, as ever, always better than cure.”
