Oral Health Awareness Month and Oral Systemic Health Month

In October, the nation celebrates Oral Health Awareness Month and Oral Systemic Health Awareness Month.

Did you know that poor oral health can contribute to serious conditions like heart disease and diabetes? Your smile is often your first impression, so make it a lasting one with exceptional oral care. October is Dental Hygiene Month, a time to celebrate the power of preventive care and the extraordinary potential of your smile. It’s also the time to raise awareness that your entire body’s health is dependint on a healthy mouth.

Join our amazing dental hygienists and Dr. Comfortes in spreading the word.

In collaboration with Dr. Comfortes, our dental hygienists, Maggi and Erica, play a crucial role in maintaining oral health. Their daily tasks—cleaning teeth, removing tartar, updating x-rays and dental records, performing advanced diagnostics and treatments, including cancer screening, and educating patients—are essential for preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

Because oral health is closely linked to overall well-being, poor oral health can contribute to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. Let your friends know this reason to prioritize the highest level of oral health care and feel free to refer your friends to us. Tell them we offer exceptional support for people who are at higher risk for conditions like bleeding gums, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s, all of which can be worsened by certain oral bacteria.

Learn from Dr. Comfortes the science that enables him to help you build and retain total health.

At your next appointment, ask Dr. Comfortes about the Bale Doneen Method, OralDNA saliva testing, and the American Association of Oral System Health (AAOSH). AAOSH is an organization that sponsors advanced dental and medical training in research-based methods that have immediate impact on our ability to treat patients and become leaders in oral systemic health.

Remember: Small actions can lead to a beautiful, healthy smile. Along with good home oral hygiene practices and regular dental visits, we recommend OralDNA saliva testing to gain precise insights about the bacteria living in your mouth. This knowledge helps us support you in maintaining health for years to come.

Schedule your next dental visit and experience the extraordinary benefits of our comprehensive care. You deserve the best!
