New National Health Organization Formed: AAOSH American Academy for Oral Systemic Health

Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) October 22, 2010

Jim Ratcliff, CEO of Rowpar Pharmaceuticals makers of CloSYS oral care products, just returned from Madison, Wisconsin, where oral health leaders from all over the country convened over the weekend to hold the founding meeting for the American Academy for Oral Systemic Health (AAOSH).

â??The formation of this organization could not have come at a better time,â? says Jim Ratcliff. â??More and more research just keeps pouring in that confirms all the connections between the health of the mouth and the resulting health of the body are very real.â?

The newly-inaugurated AAOSH will bring together medical professionals and makers of oral care products from all fields and try to eliminate the tunnel vision that can exist between medical specialties. Members will commit themselves to working and learning together in the ultimate spirit of cooperation so that patients everywhere can enjoy the resulting benefits of improved general health, healing, longevity and wellness.

â??When dentists and physicians work together, medical outcomes will be improved and lives will be lengthened,â? states AAOSH President Dr. Chris Kammer. â??Many people still donâ??t understand that good dental health can add years to your life, so one of our missions is to educate the public as well.â?

Several nationally-known clinicians who attended the meeting gave presentations on the latest findings related to the seriousness of oral disease in America. One speaker revealed how a couple was not able to conceive a child until the motherâ??s rampant gum infection was put under control. Another speaker discussed how diabetes can make gum disease worsen, but that gum disease can also make diabetes worse â?? a vicious â??circle of deathâ? unless dentists and physicians unite and intervene. In addition, advanced dental techniques and systems for treating periodontal disease and tooth decay were shared, as well as an extended program on the importance of nutrition.

The new organization has 50 founding members and anticipates rapid growth as more and more professionals absorb the data that demonstrates the relationship of mouth health to body health and vice versa

â??Weâ??re excited about finally working closely with cardiologists, diabetic specialists, obstetricians and many more medical specialties,â? explains Rowparâ??s Jim Ratcliff. â??AAOSH is all about opening those doors of communication and weâ??re excited to be part of an organization focused specifically on the collaboration of health care professionals and health care product manufactures to improve the lives of their patients.â?

Rowpar Pharmaceuticals manufactures and markets unique patented oral health products (toothpaste, mouth rinse, and breath spray) sold nationally through Walgreens, CloSYS.com, Amazon.com, Drugstore.com and most dental distributors. CloSYS unique properties include: toothpaste without foaming agents, sulfates, triclosan and has very low abrasion. CloSYS oral rinse is alcohol-free and pH balanced.
