In our last post, we discussed the connection between oral and overall health. The connection, as we noted, isn’t insignificant. Gum disease has been shown to share a connection with heart disease, stroke, diabetic complications, and premature birth, among other problems.

So given this connection, you might be wondering how you can best protect yourself.

The simple answer is by visiting PGA Center for Advanced Dentistry twice a year. Our Palm Beach Gardens dental office takes pride in making preventive dentistry and checkups a priority. We want to do everything we can to help our patients achieve optimal oral health so that oral or overall health problems aren’t an issue later on down the road. Seeing us every six months helps us do that.

When you come in, Dr. Ajmo will thoroughly examine your teeth for signs of decay and your gums for signs of gum disease. We’ll also check for TJM dysfunction, bruxism, and even oral cancer. Catching problems like these early is important for providing treatment when treatment will be easier, more comfortable, and more effective.

If it’s time for you to schedule your next appointment with Dr. Ajmo, call our Palm Beach Gardens dental office to set up your next visit. And if it’s been awhile since your last visit and you’re worried about coming in, PGA Center for Advanced Dentistry also has sedation dentistry options that can help make all future visits anxiety-free and much more comfortable.

Get in touch with us today! We serve patients from Palm Beach, Juno Beach, Tequesta, West Palm Beach, and Stuart.
