Oral health promotion is crucial to the success of our Poway Practice as well as to the health of our fellow San Diegans!
Our San Diego Dental Team works together to educate our patients in:
- the importance of excellent oral health care
- prevention of gum disease
- the effects of smoking and alcohol
- a healthy diet
Taking care of teeth is a job for life as National Smile Month's tagline - Smile4Life - suggests and, according to recent evidence from scientific research, oral health is directly connected to overall health and there is a systemic association between periodontal diseases and other chronic inflammatory conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease.
Therefore, treating gum inflammation may not only help manage periodontal diseases but may also help with the management of these other chronic inflammatory conditions.
