Drs. Gilleran & Van Fossen present: Foods for healthy gums and healthy hearts


Gum disease, known also as periodontal disease, is far more common than you may think in the U.S. Year after year, new studies emerge that link the effect gum disease can have on your heart, and our staff at Bridgeview Dental have taken notice. Now, we're helping spread the word! One of the simplest steps to achieving healthier gums can be your diet. We recently came across a great article in EatingWell that outlines several options for healthier gums. Included among the suggestions were:

*Raisins
*Green Tea
*Whole Grains


In addition to these foods being gum-friendly, they are healthy foods in general, and a great option to begin integrating into your diet more this fall. Hope this helps! Have a wonderful weekend!
