March is National Nutrition Month

Diet and oral health are closely related. Nutrition affects the health of your mouth and the health of your mouth affects nutritional intake. For example, dental pain or missing teeth can lead to difficulty chewing or swallowing food which negatively affects nutrition and increasing the risk of malnutrition while the lack of proper nutrients can negatively affect the development of the oral cavity, the progression of oral diseases and result in poor healing.

There are small steps that you can take every day such as choosing foods that support your teeth and gums can have a big impact on your long term oral health and overall well-being. Scroll to learn more!

Today we celebrate National Dentist’s Day and our own Dr. Benjamin De Graff!

Did you know that your dentist plays a crucial role in disease prevention, early diagnosis and your overall well-being?

Dentists are often the first line of defense in detecting serious conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and oral cancer.

Oral diseases such as cavities, gum disease and infections affect millions and if left untreated can result in serious health complications. Dentists help prevent these issues through regular check-ups, cleanings, education and early intervention. Routine dental care is not optional, it is fundamental to a heathy life.

We are proud to help our community smiling!
