Dentists Can Identify Those At Risk for Heart Disease
Dentists can play a potentially life-saving role in health care by identifying patients at risk of fatal heart attacks and referring them to physicians for further evaluation, according a new study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association. The study followed 200 patients in private dental practices in Sweden whose dentists used a computerized system, "HeartScore," to calculate the risk of a patient dying from a cardiovascular event within a 10-year period.

Saving Badly Diseased Teeth More Trouble Than It's Worth
In recent years, it was common practice for dentists to perform repeat root canals and other procedures in an effort to say teeth compromised by extensive decay, gum disease, and bone loss.

Dental Cleaning May Alleviate Heart Disease Risk
In patients with mild to moderate gum disease, a trip to the dentist for tartar removal and overall cleaning has the benefit of actually reducing inflammation of the endothelium (lining) of the arteries, thus lowering the risk for heart disease, a small recent study showed.
“It involved removal of tartar and cleaning the gums, and that’s it – no surgery and no antibiotics – just your basic dental hygiene,” said senior study author Mario Clerici, a professor at the University of Milan, in Italy. He said the researchers are performing an experiment to confirm their results. (Read more about Dental Cleaning May Alleviate Heart Disease Risk)

Neuromuscular Dentistry Can Ease Jaw-Caused "Migraines"
A relatively uncommon form of specialized dentistry can relieve pain that’s so excruciating it gives sufferers incapacitating migraines, makes it impossible for them to touch their own faces, and gives them ringing in their ears, to boot.
Not infrequently, patients who don’t know the cause of their suffering have to go to the emergency room for relief, for their pain doesn’t respond to the powerful migraine medication Imitrex. That’s because their headaches aren’t caused in the manner of true migraines, but come from temporomandibular joint disorder, or jaw misalignment.
