At West Friendship Family Dentistry, Dr. Fenlon wants you to know that the condition of your oral health plays a very important role in your overall health. According to the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), more than 90% of all systemic (overall) diseases have oral health symptoms. Research shows that poor oral health can be a sign of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, premature births, and osteoporosis.
Please allow Dr. Fenlon a moment of your time to educate you on the connection between your oral health and your overall health. Once you understand, you'll see that a healthy mouth is connected to a healthier you. Your teeth and gums hold important clues to other health issues. So, if you're interested in mainting good overall health, as well as your smile, visit Dr. Fenlon in Howard County, MD for a checkup and cleaning at least twice a year and, depending on your personal situation, we may recommend 3 or 4 visits per year. An exam allows Dr. Fenlon not only to help you maintain healthy teeth and gums, but to be on the lookout for developments that may lead to future health problems, including oral cancer. Regular brushing and flossing and visits to Dr. Fenlon's West Friendship MD Dental office will not only give you a healthier mouth, but it will help you maintain an overall healthier you.
