Preventive Dentistry in Roseville, NSW
Preventive dental teeth cleans and exams are the foundation of excellent dental health because they help you avoid costly and uncomfortable future problems, such as gum disease, tooth decay, and cavities.
Not only does preventive dentistry protect your health, but it also guards your budget by helping you avoid significant tooth emergencies and complex treatment procedures.
The Oral Systemic Connection
Science has shown close links between periodontal (gum) health and general health. We understand that the bacteria causing gum disease and specific chronic systemic health problems are related. This means that if you have gum disease, you have an increased chance of developing one of these health concerns and vice versa:
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Dementia
- Stroke
Gum disease has also been connected with complications during pregnancy and low birth weight in babies.
When we spot gum disease early on (gingivitis) at your preventive teeth clean and exam, we can often help you manage and sometimes even reverse the condition before it advances (periodontitis).
Unfortunately, advanced gum disease has no cure, but our team is well-equipped to help you manage gum disease and control your condition.
