We all know that keeping up with regular visits to our Sacramento dentist will keep our teeth in tip-top shape, but did you know that by reducing fat from our diets we are also helping our bodies fight gum disease?
Now this doesn’t mean if we go out and dive into the next fad diet, that we no longer need to see our friendly neighborhood Sacramento dentist as often. Since weight loss is such a popular topic of conversation these days, we can now add gum disease to the list of benefits involved with a reduction in body mass and fat cells.
Professional office and staff. I have been a patient for over 7 years and the dental work and cleanings are exceptional. People are always complimenting my white teeth and smile. Dr. Celaj is by far the best dentist in Sacramento providing great work at very reasonable rates. – Tawanda Tillman
Sacramento Dentist Discusses the Connection Between Oral Health & Overall Health
Regular dental visits help catch oral health issues like gum disease, tiny cavities, and even signs of oral cancer before they have a chance to become bigger problems. What might start off as a microscopic cavity that can be filled in one visit could potentially lead to total tooth loss if treatment is ignored.
This is only preliminary research in the fat cells and gum disease connection and certainly more needs to be done, but at the very least it is another sign of how the health of our teeth and gums has a huge impact on our overall health.
A new paradigm between dentistry and medicine is now developing regarding patient care. As the oral systemic connection is more clearly understood, dentists who are trained in diagnosing oral and periodontal disease will play a greater role in the overall health of their patients.
At Arden Dentistry, we prioritize not only your dental health but also your overall well-being. As part of our comprehensive approach to patient care, we conduct thorough oral cancer screenings during your regular dental check-ups, ensuring early detection of any potential signs or symptoms. Our experienced team is trained to recognize subtle indicators and risk factors, enabling us to take proactive measures to safeguard your health. These essential screenings are performed every six months, allowing us to closely monitor any changes and provide timely interventions if necessary. With our commitment to preventive care, you can trust that your oral health is in caring and capable hands at Arden Dentistry.
Many times, the first signs of unnatural systemic health conditions reveal themselves in changes within the oral cavity.
Share More With Your Dentist!
What this means to us, as dental patients is this; the better our dentists understand the connection between oral health and physical health, the better they can communicate this information to the rest of us – but we do have to go see our Sacramento dentists on the regular…and make sure we befriend them on Facebook, follow them on Twitter, and bookmark their blog posts!
A down economy should never be a reason to forgo optimal oral health; it will actually cost us more money to delay even just regular dental cleanings and exams.
This neglect leads to the development of oral health, tooth, and gum problems which then require more attention (read: time and money) from our trusted dentists when the spit finally does hit the sink.
There are other easy-to-pay dentistry options, and alternatives to dental insurance (just scroll down the page). And don’t be afraid to get your primary care physician involved in the conversation when needed as well.
Don’t ignore your Sacramento dentist any longer, as a special offer Dr. Celaj is promoting $89 New Patient Exams for the back-to-school and holiday season.
