How can dentistry benefit your whole health?
Aside from the well-documented correlations between good oral health and strong bodies, We have a lot to thank our healthy smiles for. Healthy mouths enable us to get a good night's sleep and eat a nutritious diet. In good health, we can speak clearly or even express ourselves completely without uttering a single peep. Smiling brightly is a universal sign of peace and friendship that connects us all. When our oral health suffers, we miss it. Unaddressed oral health problems don’t just hurt, they make us feel isolated and weigh heavily on us emotionally.
Physical Health
This is the first one everyone thinks of. Having a toothache is a notoriously painful experience and may be a precursor to a dangerous infection. Physical health also includes the rest of you. Do you get frequent headaches or jaw pain? Is your bite comfortable? Many of the services we recommend are intended to be proactive and maintain your physical health to avoid future pain, discomfort and expense.
Emotional Health
How do you feel about your smile? Is there anything thing about it that weighs on your mind? Do you ever feel self-conscious about your smile? Your emotional well being is also important and we’re here to help. Share your thoughts with us and find out what your options are.
Mental Health
For some people, the prospect of visiting the dentist causes anxiety that’s so fierce it even rivals a toothache! If you suffer from dental anxiety or you’re stressing out about an impending visit or oral health problem let us know! There may be things we can do to help. Let’s get you past this.
