How Dr. Kevin Molldrem Takes a Holistic Approach to Dentistry
Oral Health and Its Impact on the Body
Many people don’t realize that oral health is closely connected to overall health. Issues like gum disease, infections, and tooth decay can contribute to serious medical conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems. Dr. Kevin Molldrem takes a holistic approach to dental care, ensuring that his patients maintain not only a healthy smile but also a healthier body.
Gum Disease and Its Connection to Heart Health
Research has shown a strong link between gum disease and heart disease. The bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Dr. Kevin Molldrem provides comprehensive periodontal care to prevent and treat gum disease, protecting both oral and cardiovascular health.
Diabetes and Oral Health Management
Diabetes can impact oral health by increasing the risk of gum disease, dry mouth, and infections. Dr. Kevin Molldrem works closely with patients who have diabetes to create customized dental care plans that help manage these risks. Regular checkups and professional cleanings play a key role in maintaining a healthy mouth despite the challenges of diabetes.
The Role of Sleep Apnea in Dental and Overall Health
Many people suffer from sleep apnea, a condition that can cause fatigue, high blood pressure, and other serious health concerns.
