Preventive cardiology focuses on identifying and addressing hidden contributors to heart disease before serious cardiac events occur. At Flatiron Dental, our approach centers on the connection between oral pathogens and cardiovascular inflammation. Using advanced salivary testing, we identify five dangerous bacteria scientifically linked to heart disease.
Our care is designed to reduce the inflammatory burden these pathogens place on the body through targeted oral treatment protocols. By addressing oral infection at its source, we support overall cardiovascular health with a precise, measurable, and proactive strategy.
This approach to preventive cardiology helps reduce systemic inflammation associated with harmful oral bacteria. By identifying and eliminating specific pathogens linked to cardiovascular disease, patients may experience measurable improvements in myocardial inflammatory markers.Early detection and treatment allow for intervention before inflammation contributes to more serious heart-related conditions. This targeted strategy supports long-term heart health while addressing an often-overlooked source of systemic risk: the mouth.
Treatment begins with comprehensive salivary testing to identify pathogenic bacteria associated with cardiovascular inflammation. Based on these findings, we implement total mouth disinfection protocols designed to eradicate harmful microbes.
Laser therapy is used to disinfect deeper periodontal pockets, and localized antibiotic delivery is applied directly where bacteria reside. Follow-up salivary testing allows us to determine whether treatment was successful or if additional intervention is required. Home care recommendations are customized based on each patient’s results to support lasting outcomes.
Preventive cardiology treatments at Flatiron Dental are highly individualized and pathogen-specific. Care may include total mouth disinfection, laser-assisted periodontal therapy, and local deposition of antibiotics in deeper pockets where bacteria are difficult to eliminate through routine care alone.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, treatment is guided by measurable data, allowing us to tailor both in-office therapy and home care protocols to each patient’s biological needs.
We utilize advanced salivary diagnostics to detect cardiovascular-linked oral pathogens and track treatment progress over time. Laser technology allows for precise disinfection of periodontal pockets, while localized antibiotic delivery targets bacteria at their source without systemic exposure.
Serial salivary testing provides objective data to confirm treatment success, ensuring that care decisions are guided by measurable results rather than assumptions. This technology-driven approach allows for precision, accountability, and long-term monitoring.
Certain oral bacteria have been linked to systemic inflammation and cardiovascular disease. When these pathogens enter the bloodstream, they can contribute to inflammatory processes that affect the heart. Identifying and eliminating these bacteria may help reduce this risk.
Salivary testing allows us to identify specific pathogenic bacteria associated with heart disease. It also enables us to monitor treatment effectiveness over time, ensuring that harmful bacteria have been successfully reduced or eliminated.
We use serial salivary testing to measure bacterial levels before and after treatment. This data-driven approach allows us to determine whether additional intervention is needed or if the treatment goals have been achieved.
Yes. Home care protocols are customized based on your salivary test results to help maintain bacterial balance and prevent reinfection. Periodic re-evaluation ensures long-term stability and continued cardiovascular support.
