Routine dental care may prevent severe COVID-19 complications, study finds

--Successful control of periodontal inflammation can be beneficial to the lungs and potentially decrease severity and risk of COVID-19 respiratory problems, according to a study published by the Journal of the California Dental Association.
--"The Mouth-COVID Connection: IL-6 Levels in Periodontal Disease--Potential Role in COVID-19-Related Respiratory Complications" by Shervin Molayem, DDS, and Carla Cruvinel Pontes, DDS,PhD, examined the link between periodontal disease and COVID-19 related respiratory complications. Their findings suggest that dental professionals may need to focus on preventing underlying conditions, such as periodontitis, the promote systemic inflammation.

Oral bacteria can affect lung function, thereby increasing the risk of pneumonia and potentially COVID-19 related pulmonary complications.
Focusing on prevention would not only improve patients' overall health but could decrease the need for intensive care and mechanical ventilation of COVID-19 patients, the study authors write.

At Salo Dental the safety, health and wellness of our patients and their families is the top priority. Following the recommendations from the Governor, the Minnesota Department of Health and the Minnesota Board of Dentistry regarding social distancing, we will be suspending all non-emergent and elective dental procedures until March 30th.

During this time we will continue to be available by phone, text, email and in the office for any emergencies. We understand this cautionary measure may cause an inconvenience to our valued patients but we believe that it is in our social and professional responsibility at this time to do our part, and take measures to help reduce the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak.

We love seeing your smile! Come visit us soon!

APRIL IS ORAL CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

When it comes to oral cancer, early detection is everything. When the condition is detected early, patients can expect an 80-90% survival rate. However, that number drops significantly when oral cancer is detected late.

Get checked and support a good cause.

This month, we'll donate $1 to the Oral Cancer Society for every appointment requested through this email. So enjoy some peace of mind and help a good cause at the same time.

Don't wait.
Schedule a free oral cancer exam today.

March is National Nutrition Month!
Prevention of tooth decay begins with proper nutrition and regular dental check-ups.

A dental sealant is a protective, plastic coating applied to the chewing surface of the teeth. It is worked into the tiny grooves where cavity-causing bacteria live. Toothbrush bristles are too large to reach into the grooves, making sealant application one of the most important preventative treatments available. The procedure is painless and occurs quickly.

Sealants are for all ages! Children are much more susceptible to tooth decay than adults. Sealants should be applied to the permanent teeth as they erupt to prevent decay. Our sealant material has an added benefit in that, once applied, it releases fluoride to the teeth. This improves the tooth's strength and makes it more cavity resistant.

Schedule your children’s sealant appointment in the month of March and your child will be entered into our drawing to win one of three Oral B Pulsonic toothbrushes!
