Dentistry and Your Health - A Direct Connection
Historically, dentists were known for general and family dentistry such as filling cavities, extractions, crowns, and root canals (yikes!). What our patients are finding out is that over the past twenty years, there have been many advancements and changes in the services that dentists offer. Not all dentists go the extra mile to complete these advanced trainings, but at Millbrae Dental Care, we have. Why?
Your Dentist Sees More Than Just Your Teeth
It is no surprise to see articles in the Wall Street Journal Health Section, or to hear a news report, that your oral health and dental hygiene is directly related to your overall health. Studies have shown that periodontal disease is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and even depression symptoms. Leading doctors have shown that the position and health of your teeth and gums is directly related to TMJ pain, migraine headaches, sleep apnea, and neck/back/shoulder pain. And all of the above influence how well you sleep, whether you snore or not, and how severe your sleep apnea is. The fact is, a well-trained dentist will look at more than just your teeth during your exam. Below are a few of the speciality areas of dentistry that I provide to you, my patient.
