COMPREHENSIVE ORAL EVALUATION

Inflamed gums, decay (cavities), chips, cracks, broken teeth, broken fillings, leaking fillings and crowns, crooked teeth, oral cancer screening, TMJ evaluation. These are all the usual suspects.  Because these are the things that are easily fixed by “dental work.”

But there are many other things that are commonly overlooked. Things that may be addressed by dental work, or things that may require involving other professionals like physicians, naturopaths, chiropractors, myofunctional therapists, dietitions, dental specialists, and more.

As we evaluate as much as we know, we want to educate you on how these findings may either be affecting your overall health or may be affected by the rest of your body. The mouth is a very important contributor to your body.

A healthy mouth is the gateway to a healthy body.

A diseased mouth is an alley through which systemic diseases often creep in unnoticed.
