Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) March 19, 2014
This March is National Nutrition Month and Dr. Keith Chertok is bringing attention to how making better dietary choices and laser gum surgery can help people in Berkeley, CA treat gum disease. Many gum disease symptoms can be addressed by eating well and prevention of gum disease can also be facilitated through proper nutrition.
For example, vitamin D is known to help reduce inflammation, making it a vital nutrient in combatting swollen gums, one of the most commonly experienced gum disease symptoms. Vitamin C’s well-known role in boosting the immune system makes getting enough of this nutrient an important means of warding off the bacteria that causes gum disease. Avoiding or reducing sugary foods that coat and stick to the tooth enamel can also help to keep gum tissue healthier.
Gum disease can lead to tooth loss and can also increase a person’s risk for other medical conditions such as diabetes, stroke, pancreatic cancer and heart disease. That makes the need for improved dietary habits and effective treatment of gum disease great. Dr. Chertok is one of the first periodontists in the Berkeley, CA area to offer laser gum surgery as a less invasive and highly effective means of combatting this disease.
As with many other diseases, taking action when the initial gum disease symptoms are noticed improves results from laser gum surgery and other gum disease treatments in Berkeley, CA. When supported by good nutrition before, during and after treatment, the surgery can offer excellent help to people with gum disease. Dr. Chertok encourages all area residents to learn more about the role that diet plays in oral health by visiting his website or office today.
