Online PR News – 03-February-2012 –Dr. Holevas was the keynote speaker for Sherman Hospital Senior Health Fair in Elgin, Illinois. Dr. Holevas spoke to 150 senior citizens explaining how a healthy body starts with a healthy mouth. What does blood sugar, cholesterol and sleep have to do with the mouth? Everything, Dr. Holevas explains in his talk “How a Healthy Body Begins with a Healthy Mouth”:
How can a healthy mouth be the gateway to a healthy body?
- Learn how bacteria in the mouth can make it difficult to control cholesterol, and glucose levels.
- Learn why oral cancer is the only cancer in which the incident rate has not decreased.
- Learn how the airway in your mouth can be causing you a sleepless night
Dr. Holevas says that bacteria in the mouth can cause inflammation in the gums. With all of this bacteria living in the mouth, microorganisms have increased access to the bloodstream and can make its way to the heart and the brain contributing to many deadly diseases.
Thankfully, dentists are more determined than the bacteria that enters your body, and they don’t stop with just checkups at the mouth. Patients’ blood pressure is measured, along with immediate checks for the lips, cheek and neck. This routine, an extremely beneficial practice, along with other related methods was discussed in the talk. For more information, visit dentalpassions.com
