It's about your heath

Oral health is a direct indication of what's going on literally inside your body. Active dental decay, bleeding gums, bone loss and tooth infections are all imbalances of critical systems, accompanied by inflammation that can affect many other body systems. It's no surprise that general surgeons want a dental health report prior to many surgical procedures. Good dental health with low inflammation and bacteria loads will help your body heal faster and reduce the risk of complications. Also, many medications can cause side-effects in your mouth - be aware!

Care and Re-care

Dr Roche performs a complete check-up exam every year for all our patients. She screens for cavities, soft tissue issues, jaw joint and muscle pain. Our hygienists check for pockets around teeth, gum recession, bone loss, difficult to clean areas, and inflammation. X-rays and photos are taken only as needed to ensure proper monitoring and diagnosis. Your teeth will be carefully cleaned and a customized frequency of hygiene appointments recommended for you.
