Offering Holistic Dental Care For Adults
Our mouths are home to millions of bacteria—some beneficial, some harmful. While good bacteria support oral health, others thrive on sugars and carbohydrates, producing acidic waste that erodes tooth enamel, leading to cavities. Additionally, certain bacteria release toxins that can inflame the gums and damage the bone supporting the teeth, a condition known as periodontal disease. This is one of the leading causes of tooth loss and the need for dentures.
Unlike many infections treatable with antibiotics, harmful oral bacteria require a proactive approach. Regular check-ups and cleanings at Dennis Dental Care can detect early signs of decay and remove plaque. Our customized prevention plan can help reinforce weakened enamel for those at higher risk before it becomes full-blown decay. We offer preventative care, including fluoride treatments and dietary modifications, to make a significant difference.
How Do We Help?
However, the impact of oral health reaches beyond just the teeth and gums. Research continues to uncover strong links between oral health and overall well-being, particularly heart health.
When oral bacteria enter the bloodstream through inflamed or bleeding gums, they can travel to the heart and brain, potentially damaging blood vessels and increasing the risk of e heart attacks or strokes.
Our holistic approach to dental care goes beyond brushing and flossing. It incorporates a balanced diet, proper hydration, stress management, and regular professional care to maintain not just a healthy smile but overall well-being. By prioritizing oral health, we protect your entire body from the consequences of poor oral hygiene.
