Your dentist is an important part of your healthcare team!

Changes in your mouth and gums can signal other medical issues that may affect your overall health! A dry mouth, bleeding gums, cavities or infections, could be an indicator for other conditions. Inspecting your mouth is a vital part of evaluating the overall condition of your body. 

Your general health also affects your mouth. Unstable blood sugar levels can cause the bacteria in your mouth to thrive and lead to periodontal disease. The use of tobacco products can lead to gum disease and a variety of oral cancer. 

At C. Christian Franck DDS Wellness Dentistry, we believe that the relationship between your mouth and your overall health is an integral one. Maintaining healthy gums and teeth is a vital part of achieving optimal health. We provide services and education in an effort to promote both dental wellness and a healthier lifestyle.
