Gum disease, known also as periodontal disease, is far more common in Americans than you may think. Year after year, new studies begin to link the effect gum disease can have on the heart, and we at the office of Dr. Michael Long have been helping spread the word! One of the simplest steps to achieving healthier gums can be your diet. Our staff recently found a great article outlining several options for healthier gums. Included among the suggestions were:*Raisins
*Green Tea
*Whole Grains
In addition to these foods being gum-friendly, they happen to be healthy foods in general, and a great option to begin integrating into your diet this fall. If you have any questions about periodontal disease, please give us a call at 559-432-4850.
