Highland Park Il Dentist Discusses Impact Of Poor Dental Hygiene

Dr. Steven Kacel, a prominent Highland Park IL Dentist, recently spoke out about dental care and the patients who neglect their dental health. Dr. Kacel states that aside from teeth and gums that can be embarrassing for patients, those who neglect their dental health could face serious life long health issues.

“Abscessed teeth can lead to serious health concerns,” says Dr. Kacel. “Studies have conclusively proven that poor dental hygiene can lead to things like heart disease and other conditions that patients could very well avoid if they simply took better care of their teeth and gums.”

The Mayo Clinic reports that there are a number of general health diseases that can be caused by poor oral hygiene. These include endocarditis and heart disease. In addition, pregnant women who neglect their oral hygiene run the risk of giving birth to babies prematurely and with low birth weights. Certain health conditions can also affect oral health. These include diabetes, HIV, osteoporosis and Alzheimer’s disease.

“Anyone who has general health issues particularly should pay strict attention to their oral health,” says Dr. Kacel. “We treat all patients at our Northbrook dentist office, including those who have certain health issues that may put them at a higher risk for poor oral health. Our goal is to ensure that our patient’s enjoy beautiful smiles but more importantly, good overall health and this includes healthy teeth and gums.”

He states that a regular dental checkup is vital in ensuring the health of a patient’s teeth and gums. Regular checkups allow the dentist to look for cavities or abscesses which could lead to other health issues. Eliminating these issues is vital in keeping the patient healthy.

Dr. Kacel states that he and his team use the latest in technology to care for their patients. This includes state-of-the-art equipment and training for staff members to help them to provide the utmost in care for dental patients. The dentist states that those who have not yet had their annual dental checkup should contact the office soon to schedule the appointment, as this can be paramount to ensuring that the patient enjoys not only good oral health but good general health, as well.
