Your dental benefits are worth more than you may think. Studies have shown that there is a direct relationship between your oral health and medical health.
An oral infection such as a cavity, or gum disease can put you at risk for serious medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's disease. Periodontal disease in pregnant women has even been linked to low birth weight and premature births.
Consider the impact of regular dental visits: prevention and treatment of dental issues can help reduce the risk of more severe, and costly, medical conditions. A routine dental visit is the key to prevention of dental disease. Reduced costs through regular oral care is sure to make you smile!
