Cold season is here, from Ressler, Hirschl, and Lelchuk

Cold and flu season is here - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that a common cold usually includes sneezing, runny nose, sore throat and coughing. Symptoms can last for up to two weeks.

To promote a healthy and clean environment, Drs. Allen Ressler, Andrew Hirschl, Ira Lelchuk and our entire staff give a great deal of attention to sanitation and sterilization in our North Miami Beach and Miami Beach offices at all times, as well as following all requirements for sterilizing instruments and work surfaces. For the protection of other patients and our staff at Ressler, Hirschl, and Lelchuk, we always ask that patients reschedule their appointments if they have any type of cold or illness that can infect others.

And remember to constantly wash your hands and avoid contact with those who are ill! Stay Healthy!

Periodontal Disease Linked to Heart Disease

Heart Disease (also known as cardiovascular disease) remains American's number one killer, according to the American Heart Association. Studies have shown a correlation between gum disease and heart disease, underscoring the importance of good oral health care.

Visiting the office of Drs. Ressler, Hirschl, and Lelchuk on a regular basis 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 their dentist when they should, a healthy mouth begins with a visit to our office. Dr. Allen Ressler, Dr. Andrew Hirschl, and Dr. Ira Lelchuk say it’s also important to know your numbers: blood pressure (less than 120/80), cholesterol (less than 200) and BMI (less than 25). If you have any questions about heart health, or about your treatment at our office, please give us a call today.
