Fast Heartburn Relief Without Deadly Drugs
Since gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was first identified in the early 1930s, the number of people experiencing heartburn has increased substantially.
In fact, one study shows that in just 10 years, the number of people experiencing:1
Any GERD symptoms increased by 30%
Symptoms at least once a week increased by 47%
Severe GERD increased by 24%
While these numbers are concerning, I’ll admit they’re not surprising considering the typical American diet.
Our nutrition-less, grain-based diet of carbohydrates and starches has wrecked our health and made our bodies behave in ways nature never intended.
This has led ...

Estimation of Gingival Crevicular Blood as Noninvasive Method to Determine the Blood Glucose Level: A Comparative Study
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the findings of the current study suggest that
blood drawn from the gingival crevicular during a clinical examination
may be a great source for glucometric analysis. The gingival crevicular
blood may show to be a promising technique for routine dental office
screening for diabetes mellitus in periodontal patients, even if
capillary/venous blood samples used for diabetes mellitus screening are
the gold standard.
Clinical significance:
Oral health is crucial for the early detection of many systemic
disorders. As a result, dentists are crucial in the screening for
systemic...

Effect of subgingival periodontal therapy on glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes patients: Meta-analysis and meta-regression of 6-month follow-up randomized clinical trials
Discussion:
None of the 12 studies were assessed as having low risk of bias.
The percentage of females and the time of diabetes diagnosis
significantly explained the high level of heterogeneity. Subgingival
periodontal therapy results in a significant and clinically relevant
improvement in glycaemic control over 6 months in patients with T2DM and
periodontitis. The grade of evidence was moderate. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)
