For our patients managing diabetes in Dumont, New Milford, and Bergenfield, periodontal care is as essential as your diet or medication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brain &amp; Memory Health<\/strong><br>Research published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/journal\/sciadv\">Science Advances<\/a> has detected bacteria linked to gum disease in the brains of Alzheimer\u2019s patients. While more research is needed, protecting your gums today may also help protect your memory tomorrow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Senior Health<\/strong><br>Oral care is especially critical for seniors in Bergenfield and surrounding towns. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">National Institutes of Health<\/a> notes that poor oral hygiene in older adults increases the risk of aspiration pneumonia.
