Cranberry to fight gum disease.
 At Dr Samsavar’s Seattle cosmetic dental office we are concerned about treatment and diagnosis of gum disease. Periodontitis or gum disease is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting oral tissues. It leads to the destruction of tooth-supporting bone and gum. In sever cases it causes loosening of the teeth and their loss. Gum disease is caused by a specific group of bacteria that makes the host to response in destructive manner. Monocytes and macrophages which are part of the body’s defense mechanism are found in higher numbers in the active gum disease sites.
At our cosmetic dental office we provide our patients not only with up todate procedures like porcelain veneers and smile makeover but we inform them of the most recent studies and findings in the fields of cosmetic dentistry and preventive dental procedures
In one study Cranberry fraction made from cranberry juice was found to have very beneficial effects against periodontal disease.
The cranberry is a native North American fruit with various beneficial properties for human health, such as the inhibition of human cancer cell line proliferation and the prevention of adherence of urinary tract infectious agents. The recent studies published showed that cranberry have a beneficial effect in periodontitis by exerting an anti-inflammatory effect. Cranberry also causes reduction in the number of cavity producing bacteria and formation of the plaque biofilms. The studies were done on commercially available cranberry juices that had the sugar and acids removed.
