Description
This week we are loving up on Thanksgiving once again, this time talking about a favorite dessert, and that is of course pumpkin pie. Who doesn't love it when your waistband is so stretched out from that fabulous Thanksgiving dinner and yet you still find a little bit more room for a tiny little slice of pumpkin pie? Today we discuss pumpkin, and the effects of pumpkin on the periodontium. Quotes: “In fact, pumpkin is extremely dense in vitamin A. We know that vitamin A plays a critical role in being able to create sustainability in health in the oral cavity. In fact, vitamin A plays a key role in the maintenance of our oral epithelium.” “We actually found conclusively in this study that pumpkin seed oil is a potent anti-inflammatory agent that can be used topically for the treatment of gingivitis without any subsequent side effects.” Resources: DentistRX: https://www.dentistrx.com More Fast Facts: https://www.ataleoftwohygienists.com/fast-facts/ Katrina Sanders Website: https://www.katrinasanders.com Katrina Sanders Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedentalwinegenist/ Moynihan, P., & RPHNutr, S.
