Healthy Gums, Healthy Body

Strong periodontal health is key to having a healthy body. Dr. David Peck offers periodontal treatment at his Springfield, Massachusetts office for the greater Boston area.

Recently through medical research, they have found that people with periodontal disease have an increased susceptibility to heart disease, stoke, pancreatic cancer, and women have a higher rate of low birth rate babies and miscarriages. What we are finding is that you cannot just separate the teeth in the mouth form your whole body. The mouth and the teeth are integral part of your health. They can create diseases and they can make diseases worse. Let’s make your health wonderful, let’s keep the mouth healthy, and let’s practice great home care together. Periodontal disease can never be cured. It can be arrested. It can go into remission. We work with you as a partner to show you what you can do and how you do it. We show you modalities that you can use at home because remember it is a partnership. We see you for your periodontal health sometimes once every three months but it is up to you to go home and practice everything we have taught you on a daily basis just like you would exercise everyday, just like women put makeup on everyday, you need to take care of your mouth every single day. It is the only set of teeth that you have.
