"Whole Patient" Philosophy

Considering all of the latest technology advances, dentistry today is much more than just "drilling and filling". Treating the "whole patient" with complete dental care as opposed to individual tooth care allows the patient to take a proactive approach, always progressing to a higher level of dental care. We have a unique opportunity to personalize treatment and better educate our patients so that they too can make an educated decision. 

Your oral health is much more important than you may realize. Today, researchers have proven that systemic disease is directly associated with oral health. Studies have suggested a relationship between poor oral health and respiratory infections and compromised lung function. Heart Disease, Diabetes and Premature Birth are a few other health problems that can be associated with your oral health. 

Why create a blog? It is our goal to make sure our patients are practicing excellent oral hygiene and it is our duty to provide them with the information to do so. We will include subjects as simple as daily brushing and flossing, to the link between Diabetes and Periodontitis. Also, having a great smile is important for many different reasons! For some, it is about first impressions and confidence; for others, aesthetic or function. Now there are more options than ever, and you can learn about many of them here!
