At our dental office, we believe that every smile tells a story. Not only does it convey your thoughts and emotions, but it also reveals a lot about your overall health. Surprisingly, over 90% of systemic conditions show signs or symptoms in the oral cavity.
During routine checkups and dental exams, we carefully examine your mouth, looking for indicators of any underlying health issues. Changes to the soft tissues inside and around your mouth, ulcerations, swelling, inflammation, bleeding, changes in saliva flow, discomfort, bone loss or asymmetry, some forms of tooth decay, and more can all be signs of a medical condition.
Maintaining good oral health isn't just about having a great smile. Studies have shown that conditions affecting the teeth and gums can also affect other areas of your body, such as an increased risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, respiratory issues, and adverse pregnancy outcomes like pre-term or low birth-weight babies.
We prioritize dental prevention to help our patients of all ages enjoy optimal oral health and wellness. We encourage routine checkups, professional cleanings, and timely contact if any signs or symptoms develop. Our dedicated staff is committed to providing the highest level of care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
If you're looking for a dental practice that values your overall well-being as much as your oral health, we invite you to visit our office. Contact us today to schedule an appointment with one of our skilled professionals. We look forward to meeting you!
