It was Valentine’s Day weekend so conversations with Aunt Emmy on www.blogtalkradio.com/auntemmy decided to have a show dedicated to dental health. After all Valentine’s is the most kissable of times- right? Special guest was Dr. Brian Hamilton- oral surgeon and past Chief resident of Oral Maxillofacial Surgery at Harlem Hospital. We learned that he loves his work, that oral surgeons are involved in the management of people with cancers of the head and neck as well as of the mouth. He advised that bad breath or Halitosis can be caused by some medications as well as other underlying health related problems. He does advise his patients if they have this bad breath.
Very interestingly we learned that medications used to treat Osteoporosis can cause problems related to the jaw bone. It is very important he advised to inform your Dentist if you are taking any drugs for this condition, especially if you are going to have oral surgery. He felt strongly that there is a need to ask questions of both your general dentist and your oral surgeon especially about what they are going to do, why and what kind of anesthetic will be used. It was a great show and if you missed it liver, please download at the link above. Each Sunday listen to the show by calling 1-323-375-3262! Have a healthy week
