February is Heart Month - Drs. Hirschl, Lelchuk and Ressler

February is Heart Month, a time to take good stock of your heart health. Cardiovascular disease remains American's No.1 killer, claiming more lives than the rest of major causes of death, says the American Heart Association. Studies have shown a correlation between gum disease and heart disease, showing the importance of good oral health care. Visiting our office regularly can help prevent gum disease or at least catch it in its early stages. And because people with dental insurance are more likely to visit a dentist, a healthy mouth begins with a visit to the office of Drs. Ressler, Hirschl and Lelchuk. In observance of Heart Month, our doctors say it’s also important to know your numbers: BMI (less than 25), blood pressure (less than 120/80), and cholesterol (less than 200). If you have any questions about heart health, or about your treatment with Drs. Ressler, Hirschl or Lelchuk, please give us a call today.

The importance of regular checkups, from Drs. Lelchuk, Ressler and Hirschl

Is your child brushing his/her teeth twice a day? If yes, that’s great! But, don’t forget that it’s also important for your child to visit either Drs. Lelchuk, Hirschl or Ressler every six months—in addition to brushing their teeth a couple times a day. If your child will be visiting the dentist for the first time, it’s important to bring them in after their first tooth comes through, and no later than their first birthday. Regular dental checkups are important for maintaining good oral health. Drs. Lelchuk, Hirschl or Ressler can:

• Check for problems that might not be seen or felt
• Detect cavities and early signs of decay
• Treat oral health problems early
• Show your child how to properly brush and floss their teeth.

During an oral exam Drs. Lelchuk, Hirschl or Ressler will check the health of your child’s mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks and tongue. Checkups will also include a thorough teeth cleaning and polishing. If your child has not been seen in our office in the last six months, it’s time to give us a call and schedule an appointment!
