As we've mentioned, February is Heart Month!

It’s a great time to take notice of the health of your heart, as cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the world, 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 your doctor can help prevent gum disease or at least catch it in its early stages. In observance of Heart Month, it’s also important to know your numbers: blood pressure (less than 120/80), cholesterol (less than 200) and BMI (less than 25).

Remember, for every new patient in February, Dr. Weinstein will make a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation - tell your friends, and call today!
