Oral Health is Linked to Overall Health

Dr. Kevin Hogan • Jul 08, 2015

Bad Breath

The main culprit of bad breath is typically bad oral hygiene, but if you regularly brush, floss and visit with Dr. Hogan then it might be caused by another culprit, like your stomach or liver. See a physician immediately to determine the exact cause.

Receding Gums

While receding gums are often a sign of gum disease, they can also be a sign of osteoporosis. This is especially true for post-menopausal women.

Canker Sores

Constant canker sores can be a sign of gluten intolerance or even a mineral deficiency.

Gum Disease

Typically, gum disease is attributed to poor oral hygiene practices, but if you have great oral hygiene routines then it might be a sign of diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Dr. Hogan is able to treat gum disease with a minimally invasive procedure called LANAP ® .
