I believe that dentistry is not about just fixing teeth.
By restoring and improving a person’s smile, we also enhance their self-esteem.
By improving the health of the oral cavity, including the periodontal (gum) tissues, we are also reducing the number of bad bacteria in the mouth that cause damage to the dental and periodontal tissues and can also enter the bloodstream, travel, and cause chronic and long-term damage to other organs. This oral/systemic connection has been established by many medical studies.
Through proper dental care and education, we dentists can improve patients’ quality of life.
