Comprehensive dentistry is your first line of defense for protecting your whole body health.

Everything inside your mouth is systemically connected to the rest of your body. Many recent studies show a direct connection between poor oral health and several devastating health conditions, including:

Heart disease
Stroke
Cancer
Diabetes
Kidney disease
Respiratory disease
Pregnancy complications

Early detection is important because it offers the best chance for prevention and treatment of disease. Dr. Gerfen and her team can be an invaluable asset for detecting potential problems that begin in the mouth.

Think Pro-actively!

By scheduling a check-up with our team, we will alert you to problems before they have time to spread further. Here are some warning signs you should watch for:

Bleeding gums: this is not normal and is not caused by proper tooth brushing.
Swollen gums: infected dental tissues swell just as they would in other parts of the body.
Signs of infection: the presence of pus along the gumline signals significant disease. Please don’t ignore it!
Shifting teeth: teeth should be rooted solidly. Movement or leaning of the teeth indicates their root system has been compromised.
Chronic bad breath: can signal the presence harmful bacteria buildup that needs immediate professional attention.
A family history of periodontal disease: Be pro-active and stop any infection from starting.
