Your Oral Health
|
We are here to educate, motivate and inspire you to gain and retain control over your dental health.Dental disease is almost entirely preventable and oral health is just as important as the health of the rest of your body. Untreated dental disease can lead to serious health problems such as infection, damage to bone or nerve, and tooth loss. Infection from tooth disease can even spread to other parts of the body.You can practice preventive dentistry by adopting basic healthy habits by remembering to brush your teeth twice a day, floss once a day and eat a balanced diet with limited sugary content. |
Improve your general health with good oral hygiene
|
What to expect at your first checkupIf this is your first visit, we suggest arriving 10 to 15 minutes before the actual consultation to complete a short medical history questionnaire.
