Healthcare is certainly making news these days! The amount of information available today is changing the way that people make decisions about their health. It is more about “let’s work together”. This empowering change helps people to be their own health care advocate. An on-going shift is on its way in medicine that highlights the role of dentistry as an equal partner in wellness and disease prevention. Collaborative efforts always produce better results and you, the patient, must be your own advocate.
I believe that patients should learn that their teeth and gums play a very important role in their overall health and well-being. More information is being uncovered about this everyday and I pledge to continue to investigate and help my patients understand how good oral health can make them healthier overall. In particular, if you suffer from diabetes, heart disease, or sleep apnea then I invite you to schedule a wellness exam at our office.
