The hidden message of gum disease.  If your dentist says you have periodontal disease, you may have an even more serious problem: diabetes.  In a recent study of 2,923 adults from NYU College of Dentistry and Nursing, 93% of those who had periodontitis were at high risk for diabetes, compared with just 63% of those without it.  The culprit may be inflammation, says lead researcher Shiela M. Stauss PhD.  If you’re diagnosed with gum disease, get a blood sugar test.  Diabetes is often symtomless, but the earlier it’s discovered, the easier it is to prevent long term complications.

On Wednesday, the Team of Aesthetic Family Dentistry  from Denville NJ will attend a full day seminar in Mahwah, NJ.  The seminar is part of an ongoing coaching relationship between Staff Driven Practices and ourselves to improve the quality of people’s lives in the dental practice while producing guaranteed, unprecedented results with ease and certainty through the implementation of the most innovative and creative practice management systems and personalized coaching.  The goal of these practice management systems is to provide the the highest quality dentistry and unsurpassed service.

In recent years, the public has come under attack by all types of industry specific advertising. The pharmaceutical industry, for example, has spent millions of dollars to make patients ask doctors for drugs by name. Dentistry is no different.

Here are the things your dentist may not want you to know – but you need to know to get the best care possible:

1. Your dentist may not be as educated as you think.
