Foods for healthy gums and healthy hearts, from Drs. Briles & Parks

Periodontal disease, known also as gum disease, is far more common than you may think. Each year, new studies begin to link the effect gum disease can have on the heart, and our staff at Bridgeview Dental have been helping spread the word! One of the simplest steps to achieving healthier gums can be your diet. We recently found a great article outlining 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. Hope this helps! Have a wonderful weekend! :)
