At iDental,
we like to stress how important your overall health
is related to your dental health. Each new patient
is greeted with a comprehensive and thorough examination
followed by an in-depth look at the findings and finally
a treatment planning session with plenty of time for
questions. Our focus is on your complete health.
The
health of your gums, teeth and mouth are very important
to your overall health. There is definitive research
that shows the connection between poor oral health and
systemic disease such as diabetes in people of all ages
and respiratory diseases particularly among elderly people.
New research is now pointing to possible connections
between oral health and other systemic conditions such
as heart disease and premature, low birth weight babies.
Although researchers are still learning about the links
between oral health and general health, oral disease
itself can cause pain, tooth loss and bad breath.
