Charles Howenstine DDS on Arresting Gum Inflammation Before It Leads to Surgery
Michigan, US, 20th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Many patients first notice gum disease in small, easy‑to‑ignore ways. A little bleeding while brushing. Tenderness that comes and goes. Mild swelling that does not hurt enough to feel urgent. Charles Howenstine DDS often explains that these early signs matter more than people realize, because they usually reflect inflammation, not permanent damage.
Gum disease does not begin with bone loss. It starts with bacteria collecting along the gumline and triggering an inflammatory response. In the early stages, the bone and connective tissue that support the teeth remain intact. The disease is present, but it has not crossed the point where damage becomes irreversible.
This window matters. When inflammation is identified early and addressed consistently, the disease process often stops. Dentists describe this as arrested gum disease. Progression halts. Tissue stabilizes. Surgery stays off the table.
Charles Howenstine DDS emphasizes that arresting gum inflammation is not complicated, but it does require follow through. Daily brushing and flossing reduce bacterial buildup. Professional cleanings remove hardened deposits that home care cannot reach. When the bacterial load drops, the gums respond. Bleeding decreases. Swelling subsides. The tissue becomes firmer and healthier.
What surprises many patients is how much control they have at this stage. Gum inflammation does not progress on its own. It progresses when the conditions that caused it stay in place. When those conditions change, the disease slows or stops.
Consistency is the deciding factor. One cleaning does not arrest gum disease permanently. Improvement depends on maintaining habits over time. Arrested inflammation means the disease is under control, not cured. Without routine care, inflammation returns.
Surgery enters the conversation only when disease advances far enough to affect bone. At that point, treatment shifts from prevention to repair. Charles Howenstine DDS works to keep patients well clear of that threshold by identifying inflammation early and responding before damage escalates.
There is also a persistent misconception that gum disease is inevitable with age. Charles Howenstine DDS pushes back on this idea. Age does not determine outcome. Daily habits, professional maintenance, and follow through do. Many patients maintain stable gum health for decades when inflammation is addressed early and kept arrested.
Monitoring plays a central role. Arrested gum disease requires regular evaluation. Dentists assess tissue response, bleeding patterns, and pocket measurements over time. Stability confirms success. Changes signal renewed activity and prompt early correction.
Clear communication supports long‑term results. Patients are more likely to maintain habits when they understand what is happening and why it matters. When people see how small actions affect inflammation, care becomes intentional rather than reactive.
Arresting gum disease reflects partnership. Dentists provide diagnosis, guidance, and professional care. Patients bring consistency at home. Together, they prevent progression and protect the structures that keep teeth stable.

McLaren Charlotte Launches a Personal Pledge for Informed Performance Culture
California, US, 20th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, McLaren Charlotte has announced the launch of a personal pledge aimed at raising awareness around the importance of informed performance culture, as interest in high-performance vehicles continues to rise while understanding of the systems behind them lags.
The pledge reflects McLaren Charlotte’s long-standing belief that performance is not defined by speed alone, but by structure, consistency, and respect for engineering and process.
“We’ve always believed that how you build matters as much as what you build,” the team shared.
“You can’t lead customers if you don’t understand the machine,” they added.
“Our job doesn’t end when the keys are handed over. That’s actually when the relationship starts.”
“In this industry, consistency is the real differentiator.”
These principles form the foundation of the new pledge.
Why This Issue Matters Right Now
As performance vehicles and advanced systems become more accessible, the need for understanding has grown more urgent.
-
70% of luxury vehicle buyers now complete most of their research before first contact, increasing the risk of misinformation and surface-level knowledge.
-
Over 60% of premium automotive customers say education and clarity matter more than incentives, according to industry surveys.
-
Modern high-performance vehicles rely on increasingly complex systems adapted from motorsport.
-
Research from Harvard Business Review shows that process-driven organisations reduce repeat errors by over 30%.
“Performance doesn’t happen by accident,” McLaren Charlotte notes. “Whether it’s a car or a business, results come from systems working together.”
The McLaren Charlotte Personal Pledge
McLaren Charlotte is committing to the following seven behaviours as part of this pledge:
-
Prioritise education over assumptions in every interaction.
-
Treat ownership as a long-term relationship, not a single event.
-
Explain how systems work, not just what they do.
-
Maintain consistency across every touchpoint.
-
Apply racing discipline to everyday decision-making.
-
Encourage thoughtful questions and informed curiosity.
-
Build processes designed to last, not just move fast.
Do It Yourself: Informed Performance Toolkit
McLaren Charlotte is sharing a free toolkit for individuals who want to apply these principles on their own:
-
Learn how the systems behind your tools or vehicles work.
-
Read the engineering or design story, not just headlines.
-
Ask “why” before asking “how fast.”
-
Keep a simple learning journal.
-
Review instructions or manuals after initial use.
-
Follow credible technical sources.
-
Reflect on how parts work together.
-
Track questions you still have.
-
Compare expectations with real-world experience.
-
Share what you learn with others.
30-Day Progress Tracker
-
Week 1: Learn one system or concept you didn’t understand before.
-
Week 2: Ask three informed questions.
-
Week 3: Review how your expectations have changed.
-
Week 4: Write down one insight that reshaped your thinking.
Call to Action
McLaren Charlotte invites readers to take the pledge personally, apply the toolkit in their own lives, and share it with others who value thoughtful performance and long-term thinking.

Armik Aghakhani Raises Awareness Around Community Giving and Responsibility
California, US, 20th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Armik Aghakhani, CPA, Managing Partner of Chartered International LLP, is raising awareness around the role individuals and professionals can play in strengthening communities through consistent, values-driven charitable support.
Drawing on years of community involvement alongside his professional career, Aghakhani is encouraging people to think more intentionally about how their time, resources, and attention can support causes that create long-term impact.
“Giving back shouldn’t feel separate from your life or your work,” Aghakhani says. “It’s part of being responsible.”
Why Community Support Still Matters
Across the United States, nonprofits continue to face growing demand with limited resources. According to recent nonprofit sector data, more than 70% of charities report increased need over the past three years, while nearly half report funding shortfalls that affect programs for children, families, and local communities.
Aghakhani notes that many of the most effective organizations are deeply rooted in local communities and rely on steady, quiet support rather than large, one-time donations.
“Most real impact doesn’t happen overnight,” he says. “It happens when people stay involved.”
Focus on Children, Youth, and Families
Aghakhani’s charitable involvement includes support for Focus on Children Now (FCN), an organization dedicated to improving the lives of underserved children and families through education, health initiatives, and outreach.
“Helping children is long-term work,” he says. “You may not see the result right away, but it compounds.”
He has also supported ACOP Youth programs and the ACOP Motor Sports Ministry’s ‘Race for a Cause’, which combines fundraising with youth responsibility and education. The initiative provides a controlled environment that emphasizes discipline, safety, and confidence.
“When young people are given structure, they rise to it,” Aghakhani explains.
Supporting Autism and Inclusive Education
One of the most personal areas of Aghakhani’s giving has been autism support. He contributed to the creation of a sensory classroom for children with autism at a local Armenian school, helping provide an inclusive learning environment for families who previously lacked access to specialized resources.
“When you see how much that space matters to kids and parents, it changes how you think about impact,” he says.
According to the CDC, 1 in 36 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with autism, increasing the need for inclusive educational spaces and community-based support.
Faith, Service, and Stability
Aghakhani also supports faith-based organizations, including the First Church of the Nazarene and the Armenian Christian Outreach of PazNaz (ACOP). These organizations serve as anchors for spiritual support, youth engagement, and community outreach.
“Faith-based groups often step in quietly when people need help most,” he says. “That stability matters.”
Creating Opportunity Through Aviation and Service
Another cause Aghakhani supports is Women in Aviation International, an organization focused on advancing women through education, scholarships, and career access in aviation and aerospace. The cause holds personal meaning, as his wife is a pilot.
“Opportunity changes lives,” Aghakhani says. “Sometimes support is what opens the door.”
Women currently make up less than 10% of pilots worldwide, highlighting the importance of access, mentorship, and early encouragement.
He has also contributed to animal shelters, supporting organizations that care for vulnerable animals and promote responsible stewardship.
What Individuals Can Do Today
Rather than calling for large donations or formal commitments, Aghakhani encourages simple, practical steps people can take on their own:
-
Learn about one local organization and what it actually needs
-
Support causes consistently, even in small ways
-
Volunteer time or skills when possible
-
Talk with family about giving and service
-
Stay involved beyond a single event
“You don’t have to do everything,” he says. “You just have to do something, and keep doing it.”
A Call to Action
Aghakhani believes community strength depends on everyday choices made by individuals who care.
“People remember who showed up,” he says. “That’s how trust is built in communities.”
By supporting organizations that focus on children, faith, opportunity, and inclusion, he believes individuals can help create stability that lasts.
“At the end of the day,” Aghakhani says, “what you support says a lot about what you value.”
