We know that the healthier your mouth, the healthier your body.
There is an overwhelming amount of research showing the link between oral health and systemic health.
Our hygiene team is your first line of defense when it comes to prevention of oral disease. Gum disease and dental caries (cavity) screenings should be part of your regular health routine. Not only do we take our job as prevention specialists seriously, we love helping patients discover how good it can feel to have a great cleaning.
Infections of the mouth can cause expensive damage to the teeth and soft tissues; preventive appointments and home care can reduce your risk. Also, infections like gum disease and tooth decay can contribute to or magnify systemic medical issues like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
For some, it has been a few years since they have had a dental checkup. Don’t worry! You are in good hands with the team at Family and Laser Dentistry.
