What effect does Oral Health have on my Medical Health?

Oral Health and Medical Health


What if I told you the health of your Gums could also be a risk factor for Heart Disease?

Heart Disease is the leading cause of Death in Men and Women.  Key risk factors for this Disease are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking.  A more recent risk factor to Heart disease is Gum Disease.  An increasing amount of research is revealing the strong interaction between your oral health and systemic health.  At Feist Siegert Dental, we take pride in providing our patients thorough exams and screenings aiding in early detection of many systemic diseases.

 "Periodontitis is a risk factor for heart disease. Now a team of researchers has shown that a periodontal pathogen causes changes in gene expression that boost inflammation and atherosclerosis in aortic smooth muscle cells."    American Society for Microbiology; September 11, 2015

When should Orthodontic treatment start?

Pediatric Orthodontics 

Feist Siegert Dental Onalaska, WI


Many parents inquire about their children's crowded teeth, protruding teeth and spaces between teeth.  Often these parents are informed their child is too young to initiate treatment.  The malaligned bite or teeth will be observed and treated when the permanent teeth erupt.  A preventive option is available.  Malaligned teeth and bites left untreated worsen over time.

A Canadian study revealed about 75% of 12 year old children have a significant degree of malocclusion (malaligned bite).  About 90% of the face is developed by age 12.  Early treatment is necessary in order to help guide proper development and growth.  At Feist Dental, we utilize interceptive orthodontic techniques to achieve ideal functional and cosmetic smiles.  We recommend seeing children for an orthodontic evaluation between age 7 and 10.
