Brush you teeth well both at home and at the hospital!

Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) occurs when bacteria in the mouth enter a patient’s airways and infect their lungs. Patients experiencing frailty or a weakened immune system are more susceptible to developing HAP during their hospital stay. However, a study shows daily toothbrushing can help reduce the bacteria in the mouth, potentially lowering the risk of HAP.

The study highlights the importance of an oral health routine that includes toothbrushing for hospitalized patients.

🧪 What Is Perio Monitor? 🧪
We are excited to offer a new tool to help catch gum disease early—before it causes damage!

🦠 Perio Monitor is a quick and simple saliva test that checks for signs of inflammation-causing bacteria in your mouth. Think of it like a lab test for your gums!

💡 Why it matters:
Even if your teeth feel fine, your gums could be inflamed—and inflammation is the first sign of periodontal disease. Left untreated, this can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.
✔️ Detects gum inflammation at the microscopic level
✔️ Helps guide treatment and monitor healing
✔️ Personalized care for healthier gums!
