There’s a scientifically proven link between oral hygiene and conditions ranging from diabetes to heart disease. Inflammation and infections accompany tooth decay.

Maintaining dental health by utilizing preventative measures and having problems tended to quickly allows individuals to avoid a variety of diseases.

Patients have access to the latest preventative technology and techniques to keep teeth healthy. Clients learn proper brushing methods and the most effective dental products to use for specific needs. Regular cleanings and exams form the core of preventative dental procedures. Fluoride treatments prevent the formation of cavities and sealants can be applied to address pits and fissures.

Without prompt treatment, cavities and periodontal disease result in infections, inflammation and pain. Bacteria from the teeth are easily transmitted to other parts of the body where it can contribute to or aggravate conditions that include cardiovascular disease, diabetes and bacterial pneumonia.

Dental bridges span the gap between teeth and provide an artificial tooth that restores functionality, addresses aesthetic needs, and prevents other teeth from moving following an extraction.
