5 Reasons to Not Put Off Your Next Dental Visit

Did you know that your oral health offers clues about your overall health?  Good oral and dental hygiene can help prevent bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease among other things.  An unhealthy mouth may increase your risk of serious health problems such as heart attack, stroke, poorly controlled diabetes or preterm labor.

Here are 5 reasons to not put off your next dental visit:

1. Gum Disease:  It’s sneaky and it may not be obvious.
2. Oral cancer:  That uncomfortable mouth sore that may not go away on its own.  Let us check.  We screen for oral cancer!
3. Infection:  A painful infection can’t wait for treatment and could spread to other parts of your body.  We can help your health.
4. Shifting teeth: Gum disease and other oral issues could compromise your smile.  Regular dental care can help find issues while they are still small or help prevent them all together.
5. Overall health: Poor oral health is connected to systemic diseases including cardiovascular and respiratory disease, diabetes, and potentially cancer.
