About It's All About The Gums: The Mouth & Body Connection
Product Description The hidden epidemic of gum disease affects more than just the mouths of half of all adults in the United States-it affects their bodies too. It's All About the Gums depicts the close relationship between gum disease and serious, debilitating diseases that impact the quality of life of millions of people every day: diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and even Alzheimer's. Leading periodontist and author Dr. Hiru Mathur DDS, MS explains, in simplified terms, how our mouths host several types of bacteria. Ultimately, an imbalance between the healthy and disease-causing bacteria can result in gum disease, affecting our health, happiness, and self-esteem. Dr. Mathur is passionate about building a partnership between patients and doctors, where a holistic approach to teeth treatment and gum disease prevention has tremendous benefits to an individual's overall health and wellness. No matter your health status or familiarity with dentistry, Dr. Mathur gives practical advice on how to achieve better health and how keeping your gums healthy might just save your life! About the Author Dr. Hiru Mathur is a periodontist with over 25 years of experience and the founder of Sugarland Periodontics and Implant Dentistry in Texas. She strives to provide periodontal and dental implant treatment with an increased focus on holistic health and wellness. She wants to help patients achieve a smile that enhances their lives. Dr. Mathur studied dentistry at the University of Bombay in India and graduated with a Masters in Periodontology in 1993. She completed her residency at the University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston, where she achieved a Masters in Periodontics and Implant Dentistry in 1999. In addition to her private practice, Dr. Mathur has committed herself to the partnership between dentistry and education. She loves teaching, and, for the last 20 years, has served as an Assistant Clinical Professor at The University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston. About 15 years ago, she also established a study club for dental professionals in the Greater Houston area that provides continuing education of new and emerging periodontal treatment options.
