Straight from the news – Regular dental care can save lives

Don’t wait too long before your next dental visit.

Here at Elite Dental in Staten Island, our principal dentist Dr. Steve Acker is hard-pressed to stress the importance of attending regular check-ups with your dentist to avoid oral health issues that may have been misdiagnosed or overlooked.

The following article discusses a piece published by The American Academy for Oral Systematic Health which brings to light an important and even life threatening misconception related to maxillary sinus disease of odontogenic origin and the link of symptoms commonly assumed to be regular sinus problems.

The article reads that one individual named John Schneider mistook his discomfort for a sinus infection. Finally when he did opt for treatment to the area, the infection inside his mouth had spread – poisoning his blood and shutting down his organs.

Although the medical practitioners worked hard, John underwent open heart surgery but regrettably perished the following day.
