Dairy Products! Way To Periodontal Health

Posted by Periotalk 22 May, 2008 (0) Comment

The recent article in Jol Of Peridontology reports the beneficial effects of dairy products on periodontal disease. Study Abstract. This is a interesting finding which encourages one to intake more dairy products in ones diet. Looking critically into the study we find facts that should be taken into account.

The study included a study population between age 40 through 79 years. The older population is known to have increased prevalence of periodontal disease and osteoporosis. Research has shown relationship between osteoporosis and alveolar bone loss. Decreased mineral density in body including jaw bone would leave alveolar bones more susceptible to periodontal disease.

The study included dairy products like milk, cheese, and lactic acid foods (yogurt and lactic acid drinks). Lactic acid is known to increase calcium absorption in intestine. Consumption of foods rich in lactose is bound to produce more lactic acid, lowering the local pH, bringing it to ideal level of calcium absorption. Research has shown the correlation between poor absorption, decreased intake of lactose and poor absorption of calcium, a factor which can lead to the development of osteoporosis and fractures.

Periodontist

Posted by Dr. Teeth 25 November, 2007 (0) Comment

The field of dentistry has become more diverse and specialized in the last half century. There are, today, eight recognized streams of dentistry with post graduate specialization, and at least two or three knocking on the doors for such a status.

A PERIODONTIST is a dental specialist who looks after your gums and other supporting structures of the teeth. Teeth are embedded in a bony socket in the upper and lower jaw bones, known as the maxilla and mandible respectively. The roots of the teeth, which are embedded in the bone, are coated with a substance known as the cementum. This cementum unites the teeth to the bone with the help of a shock absorbing ligament known as the periodontal ligament.
