April 2021 Newsletter

April 2021 Newsletter
April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s a great time to remind patients that being screened annually for this life-threatening disease is important.
The increase in oral cancer has been on the rise significantly. Our office has diagnosed two cases in the last 12 months. This early detection led to simplified therapies and remediation with out surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Having routine office visits with the dentist is extremely critical and our hygienists are skilled at detecting early changes. Our USA Bio health protocol is extremely important in establishing proper health and wellness.
Here are some facts you might share with your patients about cancers of the mouth and upper throat:
  • Collectively, these types of cancer kill nearly one person every hour of every day of the year.
  • Of those who are newly diagnosed with these cancers, about 40 percent will die within five years.
  • Many people who survive these cancers have ongoing difficulties eating and speaking, and some have severe facial disfigurement.
  • The death rate associated with mouth and upper throat cancers is high because it often isn’t discovered until it has reached an advanced stage.
As periodontists, Dr. David DiGiallorenzo and Dr. Henry Hsu are diligent about performing oral cancer screenings because evaluations of several studies have shown that there is an increased risk of oral cancer among patients who have periodontal disease.
We also know that tooth loss is an independent risk factor for oral cancer, according to the Perio-Implant Advisory. Another study found that an increased cancer risk existed in people who had lost 11 or more teeth, compared to those who had all of their natural teeth, after adjustment for alcohol and smoking.
We invite you to refer your friends and family to us if they have tooth loss or have been told they have periodontal disease.  We can get their disease under control and evaluate them for dental implants as a permanent tooth replacement option to improve their health and well being.

USA Oral Heath Institute
Since introducing USA Biohealth last March we are delighted with the overwhelming interest and outreach from patients and non-patients alike seeking assistance.
As previously mentioned the oral cavity remains a nidus for acute and chronic inflammation including bacterial yeast, fungus and viral pathogens. Up to 70% of all chronic diseases are associated with problem areas in the oral cavity. This dysbiosis disturbs the voltage of the human body, creates cellular imbalance and setting up a pattern for disease and illness. The oral cavity remains deeply connected to each organ system and all cranial nerves. It remains the most overlooked aspect of health and wellness.
Therefore, balancing is critical. For this reason, comprehensive dental detoxification and rehabilitation becomes crucial in establishing health and wellness. Dr D has understood and integrated the fundamentals of integrative medicine for decades and focused his patient care on immune support, risk factor reduction and detoxification of both local and environmental risks.
