Dentistry Not Only Saves Your Teeth, It May Save Your Life. Now there’s an even more compelling reason to commit to regular dental visits: your life! Dentists have long suspected a link between oral health and whole body health. Now there’s proof.

Studies published in many established journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine and the Journal of Periodontology have linked gum disease to an increased risk of stroke, heart attack, pancreatic cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, complications in diabetes, premature birth, low birth weight babies and more.

Occlusion (your bite) and TMJ disorder are the cause of headaches and migraines; back, neck and shoulder pain; ringing in the ears, as well as other debilitating symptoms.

The occurrence of oral cancers is on the rise.

It’s important to visit the dentist for regular check-ups. Professional cleanings remove plaque and bacteria; fluoride treatments protect teeth from decay. Check-ups allow dentists to monitor oral health, detecting and correcting any problems while they’re small.

It’s clear that maintaining oral health is essential to optimal wellness. When selecting a dentist, choose one with experience in the oral systemic approach to dentistry.

The oral systemic approach delivers advanced dental care with emphasis on overall wellness. These dentists not only treat the problem that brought you to the office (i.e. a broken tooth) they find and resolve the underlying cause of that problem.

It all adds up to a stronger, healthier smile and a stronger, healthier you.
