Family Cosmetic Dentistry In Abbotsford

As oral health care experts, our family dentists in Abbotsford provide insight into not only the state of your dental health but, in some cases, your overall health, as well. How? Studies have shown that mouth bacteria – particularly the type found in infected gums – can travel through the body. The greater the infection, the more the patient is at risk of having bacteria enter their bloodstream. And when it’s made that transition, they can experience…

• higher levels of arterial plaque that slows blood flow, boosting heart attack and stroke risk
• activate a hormone that may cause pre-term birth
• heighten your kidney cancer risk
• increase your risk of Alzheimer’s disease
• worsen respiratory disease symptoms
• affect rheumatoid arthritis
• and so much more!

Because they’re highly trained in all areas of oral health care, dentists tend to be the first to spot signs of conditions like osteoporosis, oral cancers, diabetes, hypertension, and more. What’s more, recent surveys have reported that many dentists are actively involved in educating patients regarding a host of health issues.

What happens during a checkup at Family Dentistry?

We’re often asked: “Why are you asking about my medical information?” Though it may not seem important for us to know this information, we ask questions for many of the same reasons your primary medical provider does. Our goal is always to ensure that we provide the dental treatments that will best meet your unique needs.

By gaining insight into your medical history, we’re better able to understand if existing conditions may affect how we approach your dental care. A variety of conditions – including diabetes, heart disease, hemophilia, drug reactions, anemia, thyroid conditions, allergies, pregnancy, hormonal disorders, and autoimmune disease may require that we use precautions while caring for your smile.

Your medical history is additionally important since many conditions initially present symptoms in the mouth. Lumps, discoloration, sores, irritation, and/or infection can all develop here and may indicate that your body is experiencing issues you may not be aware of.
