<p>Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the USA.  New research presented at the American Heart Association&#8217;s Scientific Session in November 2011 found that people who have their teeth cleaned by a dentist or hygienist had a 24% lower risk of heart attack and 13% lower risk of stroke.  Professional cleanings appear to reduce inflammation-causing bacterial growth that can lead to heart disease or stroke.</p>
<p>If you do have heart disease or have had a stroke, please discuss your condition with your Dr. Wright, Dr. Montgomery or Dr. Repasky on your next visit to our office. We want to be your partner in dental and oral health, and to help support any health concerns you may have.</p>
<p>Your regular cleaning and checkup can brighten your smile and help you stay healthy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent report shows what many already know: Central Ohio is home to great communities!  Powell came in at #5 and Dublin at #9 out of 955 Midwestern communities based on a 20 point criteria to evaluate the most favorable living conditions.</p>
<p>On Numbers used a 20-part formula to find Midwestern communities that enjoy healthy economies, light traffic, moderate costs of living, impressive housing stocks and strong educational systems. <a href="http://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/blog/2011/12/two-columbus-suburbs-among-midwests.html" target="_blank">Business First</a> published the results in December.</p>
<p>Here at Dublin Dental Associates we think it&#8217;s really the wonderful people that make living in Central Ohio so good!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At Dublin Dental Associates we love Halloween!  From our dentists to hygienists and all our staff, we really get into it. Planning starts early to be sure everyone is on board with that year&#8217;s theme. It&#8217;s a bit crazy looking for a dental office but many of our patients schedule their appointments just so they can see us all decked out. This year we&#8217;ll be celebrating on Friday, October 28.  Even if you don&#8217;t have an appointment, stop by and say hi!</p>
<p>Here are some of favorite photos from Halloween&#8217;s Past!</p>

Many students need supplies that their family cannot afford – simple things like notebooks, pencils and folders.  The Dublin Dental Associates school supply drive collected hundreds of needed item.</p>
<p>This morning Dr. Montgomery presented Chapman Principal Scott Zeoli and Guidance Counselor Katie Smiley with the items we collected.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yesterday a teacher asked if I had a notebook that we could give a student,&#8221; said Ms. Smiley. &#8220;I had to say no but asked her to please come back to the office tomorrow because I knew Dublin Dental Associates was coming to us with their generous donation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s great to be able to give back to our community and to help our patients connect with students who need their help,&#8221; said Dr. Montgomery. &#8220;We plan on making this an annual event at DDA.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thank you to all who donated&#8230;we couldn&#8217;t do it without you!</p>

Although many people get excellent results from a traditional toothbrush, there are reasons to consider going with the power toothbrush.</p>
<ul>
<li>People who suffer from arthritis or have limited hand dexterity may find a powered toothbrush makes the job much easier</li>
<li>For those wearing orthodontic appliances brushing may be more effective with an electric or powered toothbrush</li>
<li>Some studies show that regular may reduce the amount of plaque on teeth, and that helps fight gum disease</li>
</ul>
<p>We will recommend a powered toothbrush for those patients whose daily brushing and flossing habits put them at risk for gum disease or other oral health issues.  If you have questions, please ask us during your next regular checkup.  The most important thing is to brush and floss twice a day, every day!</p>
