Dr. Sindelar Warns Young Men About Connection Between Mouth Hygiene and Erectile Dysfunction

New research makes a significant connection between erectile dysfunction and oral inflammation. St. Louis dentist Dr. Dan Sindelar encourages young men concerned about this condition to visit their dentist for a simple salivary test susceptibility for oral inflammation.

St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) December 11, 2012

Led by researchers in Europe, a recent study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that men with severe periodontal disease (oral inflammation) were more than three times more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction than the men with healthy gums were. Head researchers concluded that periodontal disease should be considered a causative clinical condition of erectile dysfunction.

This new research is fascinating, although not entirely surprising, says Dr. Sindelar. There are now well-documented connections between oral inflammation and a variety of diseases like heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimers, strokes and dementia. Finding a connection between periodontal disease and erectile dysfunction gives men dealing with this condition a new way to address the problem, while reducing their risk of these life-threatening diseases at the same time.

At Sindelar Dental, Dr. Sindelar uses a non-invasive salivary diagnostic test to look for certain bacteria and genetic variations that increase susceptibility to periodontal disease. By treating oral inflammation, Dr. Sindelars helps his patients reduce the risk of these life-threatening conditions, and now can help them with other challenging health issues as well.

We continue to find that oral health has vital impact on the body and its susceptibility to major disease and illness, says Dr. Sindelar. I am pleased that this connection can now be applied to other ailments that affect patients quality of life and comfort. I encourage anyone suffering from erectile dysfunction to make an appointment with their dentist today.
