The North Shore’s Largest Independent Community Newspa May 25 - 31, 2016 www.TheTownCommon.com Page 13 Health & Wellness By J. Peter St. Clair, DMD It is common sense that infected teeth, whether they hurt or not, or are broken down beyond repair, should be removed. We also all know by now that there are mouth-body connections and that the mouth is the “gateway” to the rest of the body. There is no disputing that a healthy mouth is better for you on many levels. However, in a recently released study, the guidelines for treatment of some types of dental problems prior to specific surgery need closer consideration. According to a study in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, removing an infected tooth prior to cardiac surgery may increase the risk of major adverse outcomes, including risk of death prior to surgery. This is a very specific study for a very specific group of patients. It does not insinuate ignoring or postponing dental problems prior to any surgery. Dental extraction of abscessed or infected teeth is often performed to decrease the risk of infection during surgery and endocarditis (an inflammation of the inner layer of the heart) following Here’s yet another reason to try to stay fit: Seniors with more muscle mass have a lower risk of death. That’s according to researchers who spent eight years surveying 6,400 patients with cardiovascular disease. They divided the patients into four groups: high muscle/ high fat, high muscle/low fat, low muscle/high fat and low muscle/ low fat. The winners (those with improved survival odds) were those with the high muscle/low fat combination. The level of fat Brighter Smiles... Cardiac Considerations surgery. In this particular study, physician researchers evaluated the occurrence of major adverse outcomes in 205 patients who underwent at least one dental extraction prior to planned cardiac surgery from 2003 to 2013. The median time from dental extraction to cardiac surgery was 7 days (average 35 days). In this study, patients who underwent dental extraction prior to cardiac surgery experienced an 8% incidence of major adverse outcomes, including new heart attack, stroke, kidney failure and death. Overall, 3% of patients died after dental extraction and before the planned cardiac surgery could be performed. Another of the researchers went on to say, “With the information from our study we cannot make a definitive recommendation for or against dental extraction prior to cardiac surgery. We recommend an individualized analysis of the expected benefit of dental extraction prior to surgery weighed against the risk of morbidity and mortality as observed in our study.” This study, as in many “new” studies, awakens us to consider a departure from current lines of thinking about specific situations. This paradigm shift of thinking has also been noted in the use of prophylactic antibiotics prior to dental procedures in those with cardiac conditions. Prophylactic antibiotics have routinely been prescribed for patients undergoing dental work who also had existing heart problems because it had been accepted that there is a link between dental bacteremia and endocarditis. Individuals with pre-existing heart problems tend to have a higher incidence of endocarditis. The American Heart Association and others have withdrawn support for this practice of prophylactic antibiotics because the danger from overuse of antibiotics outweighs any other potential risks.

Senior Scene Grow Stronger, Live Longer doesn’t matter as much as the muscle mass to reduce risk of death. The study jibes with one from two years ago that determined that BMI levels aren’t as important as body composition -- in other words, muscle mass. How do seniors gain muscle mass? It’s not easy, as we tend to start losing muscle at about age 40. The first step to build muscle is to consult your doctor before you change your diet or start any new kind of exercise. Ask if the following changes are correct for you: Protein -- While it helps build muscle, seniors shouldn’t get too much because it can stress the kidneys. This is where your doctor can help calculate how much you should get in a day. Carbs -- We need to burn these for energy. Without carbohydrates you’ll use protein for energy, instead of using your protein to build muscles. Water -- You need the right amount to help absorb the nutrients in your food. Again, your doctor can calculate it for you. Measure the amount of water you should have in a day and keep it handy on the counter or in the fridge. Working Out -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has put a 126-page book online called “Growing Stronger” for seniors who want to start strength training. Look for it at www.cdc. gov.
