The latest in monitoring for the safety of our patients during conscious sedation procedures. Through measuring CO2 levels we are monitoring the most accurate level of respiration. We are also measuring electrical activity of the heart, oxygenation of the blood and blood pressure, with the Criticare CSI 8100.

In addition to monitoring with a pulse oximeter, all staff are certified by the University of Illinois and have their BLS certification )renewed every 2 years). Dr. Gibbs additionally has his ACLS certification (Advanced Cardiac Life Support), and takes extensive continuing education in the field.

Take a Lesson from Whoopi Goldberg about Dental Health!

editor — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 23:58:07 +0000

Dental implants, bridges, and crowns are a terrific alternative for replacing missing teeth and dentures. What I always tell all my patients is that the best implant is their normal natural teeth.

Most people know Whoopi Goldberg well for her many movies and presence on the TV show The View. On show The View, Whoopi relates her recent dental experiences with gum disease and losing teeth.

Whoopi says wisely “If you’re not taking care of your teeth you’re not taking care of your whole body—and it’s killing you!” ! Readers Digest reported recently that we are twice as likely to die of a heart attack, and 3 times to die of a stroke. There is also an increased incidence and severity of pneumonia and diabetes! She also relates that she avoided dental care even though she had good dental insurance. Dental fear should also not be a deterrent with all of the advances available in dental comfort and sedation!

Preventing future gum disease and tooth is important to your health.. We suggest you watch!

The Link Between Gum Disease and Heart Disease

editor — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 00:40:56 +0000

What is the link between heart disease, stroke and gum disease. Gum disease and bad dental health increases the permeability of the smallest blood vessels, capillaries, to allow a CONSTANT inflow of bacteria and inflammation products (prostaglandins, bradykinins, lymphokines, etc. ) into the bloodstream. These disease products and bacteria can then freely move to other parts of the body to contribute to a growing list of disease

This is why Dr. Mayo clinic founder once said that "taking care of your teeth will add ten years to your life." Watch this other informative video!

Periodontal (Gum) Disease and Cardiovascular Disease or Stroke

guest — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 13:30:21 +0000

How can an infection in your mouth affect your heart? It sounds like an unlikely connection, but researchers have found precisely such a link.

Periodontal disease is an infection of the teeth, gums, and the bone that surrounds the teeth. Most people who have periodontal disease aren't even aware of it. It's rarely painful, especially in the early stages.

Cardiovascular disease affects the heart or blood vessels. Heart disease and stroke are the principal components of cardiovascular disease. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Stroke is the third-leading cause of death.
