Dentist Joins Prestigious Dental Health Academy
Allison O'Brien DMD of Dental Services of Sarasota in Lakewood Ranch, Florida has become a member of the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health, a scientific organization that promotes education, awareness, and interdisciplinary collaboration concerning the connection between oral and systemic health.
Emerging science confirms that chronic low-grade infections in the mouth (gingivitis, periodontal disease), sleep apnea, TMD, and oral cancer elevate systemic inflammation and have an impact on all body systems. Countless studies have demonstrated a link between poor oral health and systemic disease such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, dementia, rheumatoid arthritis, and even pregnancy complications.
Dr. O'Brien and her entire team look forward to helping shape the health of the Sarasota community through thorough and proactive care.
