Uncovering Hidden Health Clues: What Your Smile Says About You

March 25, 2024

Your smile can say so much more than just "hello" - it can reveal essential information about your overall health. From the state of your oral hygiene to potential underlying medical conditions, dental checkups play a vital role in maintaining not only good oral health but also good general well-being.

Maintaining Good Oral Health is Essential for Overall Wellness

At Redford Smiles, we believe that every smile deserves the best care possible. As part of our comprehensive oral exams, we carefully review your medical and dental histories, discuss any symptoms or concerns you may have, and perform a thorough clinical examination to assess your oral health. By looking for signs of disease or abnormalities, we can help detect conditions that may have originated elsewhere in the body.

Diseases and Conditions With Oral Manifestations Include:

  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Blood disorders
  • Endocrine problems
  • Neoplastic processes (cancers)
  • Gastrointestinal reflux
  • Eating disorders
  • Nutritional deficiencies

Discovering the Hidden Connections Between Oral Health and Overall Well-being

It's crucial to recognize that good oral health contributes significantly to your overall wellness. Conditions affecting the teeth and gums can also have an impact on the health of the rest of your body. Studies have shown that untreated dental infections pose a serious threat, while there are links between periodontal disease and numerous medical issues such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, respiratory problems, and adverse pregnancy outcomes including pre-term and low birth weight babies.

At the office of Redford Smiles, we emphasize the importance of dental prevention to help all our patients enjoy optimal oral health. Regular checkups, professional cleanings, and prompt attention to any developing issues can support not only a beautiful smile but also your overall well-being.
