TRANSCRIPT
-Routine visits are vital to overall health
General dentistry is, to me, routine visits to the dentist so we can monitor their overall health.
-The health of the mouth affects the whole body-
The mouth is tied to the rest of the body, so we’re able to maybe intercept some other health problems by examining the mouth, doing oral cancer screenings, obviously preventing periodontal disease, or gum disease and decay, so overall we can use a holistic approach to keep people healthy.
-We can diagnose health issues-
You can relate the gatekeeper of health to general dentistry, meaning that we sometimes will find disease or conditions that we can alert their physicians to, and that’s why it’s really important to see the dentist at least twice a year.
