June Marks National Dairy Month!

Sleep Apnea and Snoring Telltale Signs That Your Tooth Has A Cavity

In honor of June being Dairy Month, Dr. James Orticelli and our team at James P. Orticelli, DDS would like to remind our patients about the importance of dairy to your overall health! Regular consumption of dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, has been found to lower your chances of contracting gum disease (also known as periodontal disease).

Those who consume at least 55 grams of lactic acid a day are less at risk for gum disease. Eating dairy is not just healthy for building strong bones, but is essential for maintaining a strong, healthy mouth and a smile that will last a lifetime.
