Dr. William P. Caldon, D.M.D., co-owner of Plattsburgh’s High Peaks Dental, discusses how healthy gums can help keep your heart fit.

Plattsburgh, NY — July 25, 2016 — Renowned Plattsburgh dentist Dr. William Caldon published a new blog post entitled “Fight Heart Disease with a Healthy Mouth.” In the post, he discusses the causes of gum disease and how it can negatively affect heart health.  

Says Caldon, “Cardiologists and periodontists reviewed over 100 studies and concluded there is a likely link between gum disease and coronary artery disease. With an estimated 20 to 30 percent of adults with some level of periodontal disease, gum health is an essential part of your overall wellbeing.”

Dr. Caldon has been a co-owner of High Peaks Dental since 1996 after serving in the

United States Air Force for 20 years and retiring as a Colonel. He received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Louisville and his Bachelor’s from Thomas More College. In 2013, USA Today featured Caldon as one of America’s Premier Dentists.
