Teeth Matter

I was looking at CNN.Com and there was a story about Brooke Mueller,wife of Charlie Sheen. The story said:

Brooke Mueller, who was rushed to intensive care in a Los Angeles hospital with 105-degree fever on Tuesday night, has pneumonia in both lungs and her kidneys are filled with infection, according to her mother Moira Fiore.

"I talked to her doctor, and they are filling Brooke with antibiotics," Fiore tells PEOPLE. "She waited too long to get her impacted wisdom tooth removed and the infection has spread all over. It is in her bloodstream."

She "WAITED TOO LONG TO HAVE HER IMPACTED TOOTH REMOVED."

We cannot remain healthy unless our mouths are healthy as well.
Cardiologists and other physicians that do not INSIST that their patients visit a dentist and have their teeth cleaned are guilty of malpractice and negligence in MY OPINION.

Can you imagine? An infection that started in Brooke Meuller's gum tissues has now resulted in an infection throughout her body.

Call your dentist today for an appointment!
