PAM August 2004
At my maintenance cleaning appointment in February, Julie, again, spoke of the correlation of gum disease, it may be considered a link. Julie even made mention that high levels of C- reactive protein (CRP) could be an indicator of inflammation and/or infection in the body. Since my family (history) includes heart disease, high blood pressure and strokes, I decided to have my CRP tested. Since that time, I have had several tests with results that warrant ongoing evaluation and care. Without going into great detail..., it is because of Dr. Barton and his team and their exceptional knowledge and care that I am even aware of this problem. They just didn't 'clean my teeth', and say 'see you in 6 months'. I have continued to see my cardiologist as well as Julie to stay on top of the situation. I just wanted to thank you again for your diligent and persistent dental care, which proves to be 'total health care!'
Gratefully,
-- Pam
