Your Smile Within Your Life

Healthy teeth mean a healthy state of mind! Your oral health is connected to your:

  • Whole body health – Emerging research is showing connections between gum disease and systemic health problems like heart disease, respiratory disease, diabetes, stroke, Alzheimer’s, and some cancers. While there hasn’t yet been definitive evidence that a link exists, these findings offer some additional motivation for keeping your gums healthy. And when you consider that periodontal disease is the top cause of tooth loss, it becomes even more important to keep out of your life.
  • Confidence – Your confidence is based on many different aspects of your appearance, personality, relationships, and place in life. It’s complicated! But healthy teeth have a big impact on your self esteem. You not only feel good about the way your smile looks, but also about the fact that you’re cavity-free.
  • Appearance – Healthy teeth are beautiful teeth! When your teeth are clean and cavity-free, they look brighter and stronger. Keeping your mouth clear of disease will help you look younger and more put-together.
