Center for Dental Medicine
We are now one of two offices in the state of Florida that is a certified CENTER FOR DENTAL MEDICINE. Recent research indicates the strong link between your oral health and the overall health of your body. The American Dental Association and the American Medical Association are working together to educate people to the fact that “your mouth is the gateway to your body.” In addition to good nutrition and exercise, keeping your mouth healthy is a vital factor in preventing heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer. Dr. Charles Mayo, founder of the Mayo Clinic said, “it has been my observation that people who keep their teeth live an average of 10 years longer than people who lose them.” When you come in for your regular dental check up, we will do a complete periodontal examination and if you do have periodontal disease, we have 2 simple tests to assess your risk of heart attack and stroke and/or in danger of becoming a diabetic. THAT IS HOW IMPORTANT WE CONSIDER YOUR DENTAL CHECK UPS.
