A Periodontist Discusses Gum Disease and Its Prevention

  1. A Periodontist Discusses Gum Disease and Its Prevention Living to 100 Club 33:10

In this Living to 100 Club podcast, we invite Dr. William Levine to discuss the incidence of gum disease, its causes, and treatments. Dr. Levine has practiced the specialty of periodontic dentistry for over 35 years. He has been at the forefront of revolutionizing the way we treat and manage disease. We discuss why gum disease is so prevalent, its connection to inflammation, and the consequences of leaving gum disease untreated. Our guest discusses a mouthwash product he created, PeriActive. We learn about its makeup as a safe and natural product to treat inflammation. The makeup of this mouthwash relies on plant bioactive compounds that allow for safe, therapeutic benefit with everyday use. How can we treat inflammation naturally using specific plant bioactives? How does gum disease cause other health problems, such as heart or lung disease, and dementia? These and other topics are explored in this very worthwhile, educational conversation.
