Dental Exam / Checkup

How Oral Health Care Helps Maintain Your Total Health

You likely know that your dental health is closely tied to your overall health. A healthy mouth, teeth and gums is so closely connected to your total health that a dental exam and checkup should be scheduled every six months to remove plaque and tartar buildup, and prevent decay, cavities, infection and gum disease. Oral Dental Care, Houston, practices holistic care that helps ensure the oral-body relationship to maintain good overall health. On your initial visit, we will review your oral health, medical history and medications to determine if any conditions will affect specific dental procedures, treatment or anesthetic. Regularly scheduled dental exams and checkups are critical to maintaining your good health and spotting any dental issues in the early stages, which enable us to treat them with less invasive measures. The important thing is to detect potential problems and treat them early to prevent them from getting worse and affecting your overall health.
