Did you know that your dental health can offer clues about your overall health? Dr. Jeziorski can identify some health conditions just by examining your teeth. At BlueDot Dental, we aim to help patients achieve a healthy mouth and body through patient education and our comprehensive services.
How Your Mouth and Body are Linked
Your dental hygiene and periodontal health have an effect on your cardiovascular system. Oral infections can cause inflammation and congestion throughout your entire body. Leaving dental problems such as gum disease untreated can have a serious effect on your body. The bad bacteria travels through your bloodstream and can lead to heart problems, clogged arteries, and more.
Diagnosing Health Problems with Dental Exams
Studies show that roughly 90% of systemic diseases have oral symptoms. These symptoms include, but are not limited to, swollen gums, ulcers, and periodontal (gum) disease. Visiting the dentist every six months for a cleaning and exam will not only keep your mouth healthy but also allow us to catch any potential health problems before they worsen.
Routine Preventive Care
One of the best ways to safeguard your mouth and body against illness is through routine preventive care. Regular teeth cleanings, exams, and full-mouth X-rays can shed light on your overall health. Once your exam is complete, Dr. Jeziorski will go over his findings and discuss any needed treatment plans. We value patient education, and we’re more than happy to answer any questions you may have about maintaining your dental health. A healthy mouth is linked to a healthy body, and our team looks forward to helping you achieve both! Contact our office to plan your next dental visit.
