Healthy Heart Dentistry® is your primary distributor of in-office blood tests to dental offices across the country. We are helping to improve the quality of care offered to dental patients without the need for an additional license or personnel.

President Dr. Ronald Schefdore, Illinois dentist with over 25 years experience, found that bleeding gums could be a warning that there is a underlying medical problem. He performs finger nick blood screenings on patients at the beginning of periodontal treatment and then again after treatment 6 -8 weeks later. There is usually a significant improvement in blood chemistry.

Recent research shows that gum disease, which affects 75 percent of people over age 35, has now been positively linked to a significantly greater likelihood of heart attack or stroke, undiagnosed diabetes, pregnancy complications, high cholesterol, or a number of other systemic health issues.  The bacteria produced by gum disease produces nitrosamines, which are known to cause cancer.  Gum inflammation also correlates with elevated levels of HsC-reactive protein, which increases your risk to all the above diseases and complications.

Dr. Schefdore has been providing these screening blood tests right in his office for years.  It’s quick, inexpensive, and easy. It helps identify unsuspecting health issues and has proven to save lives.

It is time to join thousands of other dentists already performing in-office blood testing in their dental office. Patients appreciate the exceptional care and improvement in their blood chemistry .  Physicians and dentists appreciate the increased referrals to their offices. You can truly make a difference in our patients oral and overall health!
