Preventative Dentistry Can Save More Than Just Your Teeth

About Me

Did you know that dentists can see signs of illness by examining your teeth? Your oral health is closely linked to the health of the rest of your body, and sometimes your mouth will show symptoms of a disease before the rest of your body can. Another thing that you may not realize is that tooth and gum diseases can lead to other physical illnesses. Tooth infections have been known to spread to the heart or brain, causing serious consequences. That’s why preventative dentistry is so important. I set up this blog to talk about preventative dental care and how you can protect your health by taking care of your teeth. Taking control of my dental health improved my overall health, and it can do the same for you.
