These benefits allow patients to have a more natural biting and chewing ability.</p>\n<p>The dental implant process involves surgically inserting a titanium steel screw into the gum line and fusing it to the jawbone. Once the implant has fused, we place temporary healing caps and various connecting devices to attach multiple crowns to the implants. This completes the foundation on which we will place the new bridge or denture. Lastly, we will create and place the full bridge or denture and attach it to small metal posts, called abutments.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 options-for-replacing-all-of-my-teeth v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"options-for-replacing-all-of-my-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about implant-supported options\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"In addition to looking and functioning like natural teeth, implant-supported full bridges or dentures are also long-lasting.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 options-for-replacing-all-of-my-teeth v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"options-for-replacing-all-of-my-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Options for Replacing All of My Teeth services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"options-for-replacing-all-of-my-teeth-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Options for Replacing All of My Teeth in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Options-for-Replacing-All-of-My-Teeth\">Options for Replacing All of My Teeth in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS options-for-replacing-all-of-my-teeth v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"options-for-replacing-all-of-my-teeth v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about other complete teeth replacement options\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-is-an-implant-supported-fixed-bridge\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Other Complete Teeth Replacement Options</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Besides complete dentures, full bridges, and dental implants, patients can also choose implant supported dentures to replace their teeth.

As a primary entryway into the digestive and respiratory tracts, the mouth is a natural breeding ground for bacteria. While most of these bacteria are harmless, poor oral hygiene practices may enable them to multiply at dangerously high levels — putting the mouth at risk for various oral infections. Once inflammation enters the bloodstream, the body’s immune system will be at heightened risk for other systemic conditions.</p>\n<p>Traditional dentists tend to treat isolated conditions rather than considering patients in their entirety. Additionally, most patients typically see dentists on an \"as-needed\" basis. In reality, they should make consistent visits to reap all the benefits of a complete health dentistry program. A total health dentist will go over a patient’s medical history to give them the most comprehensive treatment plan. In addition to screening for oral cancer, total health dentists can identify warning signs of other oral health issues and systemic conditions.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 oral-systemic-connection v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"oral-systemic-connection v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about understanding the oral-systemic connection\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"According to the Mayo Clinic, research has found that gum disease is often indicative of other systemic conditions.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 oral-systemic-connection v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"oral-systemic-connection v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about oral health and heart disease\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"does-oral-health-affect-heart-health\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Oral Health and Heart Disease</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Though research on the relationship between the two is still ongoing, <a title=\"Read more about existing evidence makes it evident\" href=\"https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/expert-answers/heart-disease-prevention/faq-20057986\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Oral-Systemic-Connection\">existing evidence makes it evident</a> that oral health and heart disease are positively correlated. For instance, poor dental hygiene can increase a patient’s risk of developing a bacterial infection in the bloodstream, affecting the heart valves.

However, it has not been until the last several decades that experts have found proven associations between oral health and systemic diseases (specifically cardiovascular diseases and diabetes). There are two possible reasons for this:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li>Chronic inflammation in the oral cavity increases inflammatory markers’ levels in the bloodstream, negatively affecting the immune system.</li>\n<li>The oral cavity collects disease-causing bacteria that can enter the bloodstream.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>As such, any failure to prevent or control periodontal diseases <a title=\"Read more about increase the risk\" href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3487659/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Oral-Systemic-Connection\">can increase the risk</a> of adverse health outcomes. Invasive dental procedures can also increase the risk of stroke and myocardial infarctions. However, dental care may also have a positive impact on overall health: Treating periodontal diseases can effectively treat type 2 diabetes. Enhanced oral hygiene may prevent respiratory infections and death from pneumonia in elderly patients. In any case, dental care must be carried out with patients’ total health in mind.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 oral-systemic-connection v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"oral-systemic-connection v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the effects of chronic oral inflammation\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Chronic inflammation in the oral cavity increases levels of inflammatory markers in the bloodstream, negatively affecting the immune system.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 oral-systemic-connection v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"oral-systemic-connection v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Oral-Systemic Connection services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"oral-systemic-connection-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Oral-Systemic Connection in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Oral-Systemic-Connection\">Oral-Systemic Connection in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS oral-systemic-connection v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"oral-systemic-connection v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about oral health and nutrition\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"does-diet-affect-overall-health\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Oral Health and Nutrition</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Oral health and diet <a title=\"Read more about affect each other directly\" href=\"https://www.ada.org/en/member-center/oral-health-topics/nutrition-and-oral-health\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Oral-Systemic-Connection\">affect each other directly</a>.

Some of the most prominent include diabetes, pneumonia, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjorgen’s syndrome. As certain conditions may sometimes necessitate changes to oral health treatment, patients should be as forthcoming as possible about their medical history.</p>\n<p>For example, diabetes and oral health have a bidirectional relationship — meaning treating one can treat the other. At the same time, diabetes reduces the body’s ability to resist infection, thus increasing the patient’s risk for gum disease. Research also suggests that poor oral hygiene increases elderly patients’ risk of developing pneumonia. Additionally, rheumatoid arthritis and periodontal disease are both linked to severe inflammation.

However, some patients may be more at risk than others. This includes patients who use tobacco, drink alcohol, use certain medications, have a poor diet, clench or grind their teeth, or have preexisting conditions. We can develop a customized treatment plan for your needs.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Is oral health connected to pregnancy?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Yes. Pregnant women have a significantly higher risk of developing periodontal disease and cavities. Changes in behavior, hormone levels, and diet may all contribute. Additionally, if left untreated, specific dental health issues may lead to pregnancy complications.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What are the signs of periodontal disease?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Periodontal disease is often silent, meaning that patients often do not experience symptoms until the condition has already progressed. Some patients never feel any symptoms at all — making it all the more important for patients to make regular visits to the periodontist. Common signs of periodontal disease, however, involve changes in bite, deep pockets between the teeth and gums, gums that bleed during and after brushing teeth, loose or shifting teeth, persistent bad teeth or taste in the mouth, receding gums, and red, swollen, or tender gums.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What makes a total health dentist different from a regular dentist?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Conventional dentists tend to focus more on treating isolated conditions. They often fail to take other aspects of a patient’s health into account, which may lead them to overlook warning signs or symptoms of other systemic conditions.

Several experts consider the state of one’s oral health to indicate the state of general health. This is due to the relationship between oral bacteria and the rest of the body. Most oral bacteria are good, and most harmful bacteria are easily kept at bay by the body’s natural defenses and good oral hygiene.</p>\n<p>OralDNA diagnostics testing uses saliva to detect various biocomponents, or oral bacteria, and how they may affect a patient’s health. More specifically, the MyPerioPath® test <a title=\"Read more about MyPerioPath®\" href=\"https://www.oraldna.com/test/myperiopath/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-OralDNA-Diagnostic-Test\">can detect multiple oral pathogens</a> that may cause gum disease and pose a risk to oral and systemic health.

Many common pathogens that cause gum disease can also heighten one’s risk of other systemic conditions. OralDNA diagnostic testing can help determine if patients were bone with specific genetic markers associated with increased inflammation, which is frequently linked with such conditions. It can often also determine the root cause of bad breath, dental decay, and tooth loss.</p>\n<p>Such analysis is achieved by analyzing saliva samples for specific biomarkers. Biomarkers are <a title=\"Read more about Salivary Biomarkers\" href=\"https://cmr.asm.org/content/26/4/781#abstract-1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-OralDNA-Diagnostic-Test\">an essential component of one’s DNA</a>. However, they are also found in antibodies, microbes, RNA, lipids, metabolites, and proteins. If these biomarkers are altered in action, concentration, function, or structure, the body may experience an onset, progression, or regression of a particular disorder or its immune response. Consequently, biomarkers are a critical tool in detecting, assessing, diagnosing, treating, and monitoring disease.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 oraldna-diagnostic-test v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"oraldna-diagnostic-test v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to OralDNA Diagnostic Test\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n\n\n\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">People Also Ask</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<!-- PAA oraldna-diagnostic-test v1 Service Page Questions -->\n\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

It also acts as an entryway to the digestive and respiratory tracts. Most bacteria are harmless, but poor oral hygiene may allow them to thrive at problematically high levels. However, genetics, environment, and lifestyle may also come into play. They may be transmitted via contact or manifest via dietary sugar, pregnancy hormones, disease, dentures, or braces.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How does OralDNA testing make dental treatment more effective?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Without the MyPerioPath test results, your dentist cannot know the specific bacteria they must combat. As a result, patients may be either over- or under-treated, and it may take longer for any health conditions to be resolved. MyPerioPath tests give dentists an objective overview of a patient’s needs.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Will OralDNA testing change my treatment plan?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">It depends. If your MyPerioPath results show that there is a bacterial risk involved, University Dental Associates can adjust your treatment plan accordingly. If the results show no bacterial risk is involved, your treatment plan may no longer include any systemic antibiotic or antimicrobial rinses. Additionally, further testing may be necessary to determine the root cause of your condition and personal risk profile.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Are there any waiting periods before I can give my sample?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">It depends on your medication schedule. If you are on systemic antibiotics as pre-procedural medication or chronic medical conditions, you do not have to wait before saliva collection. However, if you use any over-the-counter oral care products, you will need to wait at least 30 minutes since your last application to give a sample. Similarly, there is a required wait time of 24 hours for patients using prescription-strength antimicrobial or antibiotic rinses and a two-week wait time for patients who have undergone dental procedures that disrupt the biofilm. Patients taking local antibiotics must also wait four weeks to give a saliva sample, and patients undergoing systemic antibiotics for acute conditions must wait for six.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How does chronic oral inflammation affect the rest of the body?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">There are two hypotheses for this: (1) Chronic inflammation in the oral cavity weakens the immune system by increasing the level of inflammatory markers in the bloodstream, or (2) the oral cavity collects any disease-causing bacteria that may enter the bloodstream. Consequently, periodontal disease may increase the risk of adverse overall health outcomes.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ oraldna-diagnostic-test v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"oraldna-diagnostic-test v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

As the mouth is an entryway to the digestive and respiratory tracts, it also acts as a natural breeding ground for bacteria. Though most of these bacteria are harmless, poor oral hygiene can allow them to multiply at dangerously high levels. This may cause several kinds of oral infections, such as gum disease.</p>\n<p>Gum disease is also known as periodontal disease. It typically begins as gingivitis, or gum inflammation, before progressing to periodontitis, a severe form of gum disease. <a title=\"Read more about Is periodontitis a risk indicator for cancer?\" href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5903629/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Preventative-Treatment-Cancers-Through-Improving-Oral-Health\">Multiple studies have shown</a> a correlative relationship between periodontitis and various forms of cancer, including but not limited to breast cancer, digestive tract cancer, esophagus/oropharyngeal cancer, and prostate cancer.

However, some patients may need to see the dentist more frequently than others. There are several factors that can raise a person’s risk of oral cancer and other systemic conditions.

However, virtually anybody can benefit from undergoing an oral cancer screening. It can be difficult to recognize the signs of oral cancer without professional help until it has already progressed. Early detection can be instrumental in successful treatment. An initial examination will typically involve an assessment of the lips, gums, tongue, insides of the cheeks, roof of the mouth, and back of the throat. From then on, the dentist can carry out further examinations as necessary.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 preventative-treatment-cancers-through-improving-oral-health v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"preventative-treatment-cancers-through-improving-oral-health v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about total health dentistry and oral cancer screenings\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"A complete health dentist can determine how frequently a patient should be screened for oral cancer.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 preventative-treatment-cancers-through-improving-oral-health v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"preventative-treatment-cancers-through-improving-oral-health v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about total health dentistry and pre-existing cancers\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"can-cancer-treatment-affect-my-oral-health\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Total Health Dentistry and Pre-Existing Cancers</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Many people are unaware that cancer treatment can take <a title=\"Read more about Cancer Treatments & Oral Health\" href=\"https://www.nidcr.nih.gov/health-info/cancer-treatments/more-info\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Preventative-Treatment-Cancers-Through-Improving-Oral-Health\">its toll on the mouth</a>. Cancer treatment may cause issues with eating, talking, and swallowing for patients — thus lessening the overall quality of life and interfering further with cancer treatment. Common symptoms of head and neck radiation include dry mouth, infections, jaw bone changes, jaw stiffness, loss of taste or changes in the way food tastes, sore mouth and gums, and severe tooth decay. Chemotherapy may lead to changes in taste, changes to the tongue (burning, peeling, or swelling), dry mouth, infection, mouth ulcers, and painful mouth and gums.</p>\n<p>It is vital for patients to let their dentists know about any concurrent treatments they are undergoing — or any cancers that they have previously suffered. Patients should also ensure their dentists and oncologists are in contact with each other to devise the best, personalized treatment plan for them. If possible, patients should see a dentist about their month before beginning cancer treatment. This can help ensure the health of the mouth. If they have already begun radiation treatment, patients should ask their dentists about using fluoride gel and jaw muscle exercises to stay in optimal health.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 preventative-treatment-cancers-through-improving-oral-health v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"preventative-treatment-cancers-through-improving-oral-health v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about total health dentistry and pre-existing cancers\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Cancer treatment may cause issues with eating, talking, and swallowing for patients — thus lessening the overall quality of life and interfering further with cancer treatment.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 preventative-treatment-cancers-through-improving-oral-health v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"preventative-treatment-cancers-through-improving-oral-health v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Preventative Treatment of Cancers Through Improving Oral Health services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"preventative-treatment-cancers-through-improving-oral-health-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Preventative Treatment of Cancers Through Improving Oral Health in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Preventative-Treatment-Cancers-Through-Improving-Oral-Health\">Preventative Treatment of Cancers Through Improving Oral Health in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS preventative-treatment-cancers-through-improving-oral-health v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"preventative-treatment-cancers-through-improving-oral-health v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about total health dentistry and spotting cancer\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"oral-health-indicate-warning-signs-cancer\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Total Health Dentistry and Spotting Cancer</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>With many types of cancer, patients may experience <a title=\"Read more about Complete care for jaw cancer\" href=\"https://goshenhealth.com/health-library/jaw-cancer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Preventative-Treatment-Cancers-Through-Improving-Oral-Health\">little to no symptoms</a> until the disease has already progressed.

In traditional dentistry, patients are typically treated as passive recipients of care. They do not receive any education on their condition or how to improve it. Complete health dentists emphasize the collaborative nature of a successful doctor-patient relationship. They work together to understand the healthy mouth baseline, set realistic goals, and consider the individual risk factors unique to the patient.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Is there a proven relationship between periodontal disease and cancer?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Right now, there is insufficient evidence to determine whether or not the relationship between periodontal disease and cancer is causal. However, there is certainly a correlative relationship between the two. Periodontal disease is also associated with various systemic conditions, strongly suggesting that we should not overlook the interconnectedness of the body.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What are some of the risk factors for periodontal disease?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">There are various risk factors associated with periodontal disease, many of which are lifestyle-related. These involve excessive alcohol consumption, tobacco use, and poor nutrition. Age, genetics, medications, stress, and teeth grinding may also play a factor. We can help identify your risk factors and how to work around them.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How can I lower my risk of periodontal disease?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Practicing good oral hygiene is the easiest way to protect yourself from periodontal disease. Brush your teeth at least twice daily with a fluoridated toothpaste and floss at night. Eat a balanced diet and drink fluoridated water. Practice proper brushing technique, making sure not to over- or under-brush.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What part of the mouth can get oral cancer?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Most cancers of the mouth or oral cavity occur in the floor of the mouth and tongue. However, they may also occur in the cheek lining, gums, lips, and upper or lower jaw. There is also an area right behind the mouth known as the oropharynx. Oropharyngeal cancer refers to any type of cancer that occurs behind the tongue, tonsils, and throat tissue. This makes up about one-third of all oral cancer cases.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ preventative-treatment-cancers-through-improving-oral-health v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"preventative-treatment-cancers-through-improving-oral-health v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

realize that heart problems and dental issues are linked together as part of the oral health connection. In reality, all body systems are interconnected, meaning what happens in one often reflects (or affects) the other. As a result, preventing heart problems may start with improving oral health.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">A total oral health doctor can help you better understand the oral health connection and treat your unique and individual needs. At University Dental Associates, we can help you prevent heart problems through improving your oral health. We are proud to serve The Bronx and the surrounding area.

In contrast, total oral health doctors understand that successful relationships with their patients must be collaborative and involve some degree of patient education.</p>\n<p>Total oral health dentistry is a dynamic process to be maintained. Annual wellness visits are necessary to get the best results. During these visits, our team members work closely with the patient to best understand their concerns while also identifying potential risk areas, particularly when it comes to inflammation. We will check blood pressure, conduct an oral cancer screening, and ask about sleep to consider all possible factors.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 preventative-treatment-heart-problems-oral-health v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"preventative-treatment-heart-problems-oral-health v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about what happens during a total oral health dentistry visit\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Total oral health dentistry is a dynamic process to be maintained.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 preventative-treatment-heart-problems-oral-health v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"preventative-treatment-heart-problems-oral-health v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about how heart health can affect oral health\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"what-does-total-oral-health-doctor-do-differently\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">How Heart Health Can Affect Oral Health</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Since oral health and heart health are connected, it should come as no surprise that patients with heart disease <a title=\"Read more about Protect your heart during dental work\" href=\"https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/protect-your-heart-during-dental-work\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Preventative-Treatment-Heart-Problems-Through-Improving-Oral-Health\">may need specific adjustments</a> to their dental care.

Still, there are many preventive measures you can take at home. Brush at least twice a day using proper technique, and floss at least once daily.

The problem with this method is that it often prevents both patient and doctor from addressing the root cause.

Bronx, NY</span></h1>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP1\">The general public has long known about the benefits of probiotics and prebiotics for gut and gastrointestinal health. Research is now showing promising results of pro and prebiotics in relation to oral health and its impact on patients’ general health. Pro and prebiotics serve different functions but have shown significant health benefits to the oral cavity when taken simultaneously during dental treatment.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">The prevention of bad bacteria is essential in promoting a healthy mouth. A balanced microbial environment in the oral cavity prevents disease and curbs decay while also enhancing the body’s overall health. The mouth is essentially a gateway to the rest of the body and its organs; limiting the amount of bacteria that enter the body can greatly reduce many health conditions.</p>\n<p>Probiotics and prebiotics are available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. Our staff can help you learn more about the procedure you are undergoing and answer any questions you may have.

It is important to research or ask a doctor about effective probiotics for a specific health condition.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Gut Health</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>The most common use of probiotics is for gut and gastrointestinal health as one of the leading homes for microorganisms is the gut.

Each body is different and has a certain amount of live and active bacteria at any given time. Different probiotics can be effective at different levels.

Probiotics are described by their genus (e.g., Lactobacillus), their species (e.g.,rhamnosus) and their strain (e.g., GG). This degree of specificity in describing a probiotic is essential since functions can be strain-specific. For example, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG may have different effects from L. rhamnosus GR-1.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Are dry probiotics still considered \"alive\"?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Many probiotics come in a powder form. Bacteria that are dried and stabilized correctly are in fact still alive but are considered dormant and inactive. They start to grow gradually after being placed in a moist environment.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Are probiotics more effective when consumed in foods or pill form?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Many foods, especially dairy products, contain probiotics, so it is inevitable that a person consumes much of the probiotics from food. Food sources of probiotics have the advantage of offering good nutrition along with the probiotic bacteria. However, supplements can be more convenient for some people and may provide higher levels of healthy bacteria, depending on the specific product.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ probiotics-and-prebiotics-in-dental v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"probiotics-and-prebiotics-in-dental v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

complete health dentistry, saliva pH levels not only assess the hydrogen levels in the mouth but the body as a whole. The pH level of the mouth can differ from the rest of the body at different times of the day, but the saliva’s pH affects the body nonetheless. Saliva pH reveals the connection between oral and systemic health, and understanding the link can significantly enhance one’s wellbeing.</p>\r\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">The level of pH in saliva plays a tremendous role in oral health and hygiene. The levels fluctuate depending on the type of food and drinks consumed throughout the day, but consistently low or high levels can severely impact the teeth and gums. Knowing the meaning behind pH levels, controlling them, and recognizing the various foods and beverages that positively influence the oral cavity can promote not only oral health but complete systemic health.</p>\r\n<p>Complete health dentistry and saliva ph testing are available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area. We can provide information regarding saliva ph testing and answer any questions you may have.
