Oral health and total health.
OK let us get into the "oral " side of health.
Teeth and gums and the whole oral cavity are an area that if neglected, maltreated, and "taken for granted" will invariably end up causing pain, tooth loss, bone loss and if diseased, have links to various "body health" issues.
Dental decay can cause tooth loss, swelling of the face, pain, sleep loss, and overall a wee bit of misery.
Gum disease in a minor form can cause bad breath, bleeding gums, pain, "looking long in the tooth".
Gum disease in a major form have links to diabetes, heart disease, lung conditions, and strokes, also premature birth.
Most of these dental conditions can be caught early - x-rays, check-ups, a filling or two and some regular clean ups. Just like a Warrant of fitness for the car, but even better, as you have to keep your current model (yourself for 80-90 years) or more.
For more information give us a call, come in and see us, or get going to a dentist near you.
Looking forward to hearing from you in the future.
