Do you or a loved one suffer with any of these problems?
Headaches & Jaw Pain
Headaches & Jaw Pain

Too many people suffer daily with debilitating headaches, migraines, and jaw pain. What many people don't know is that these may be caused by a bad bite, misaligned teeth, and other dental problems.

Sleep Apnea

Sleep disorders don't just make for a sluggish day—they're downright dangerous for your health. Dental sleep apnea treatment can help reduce your risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and other serious health problems.

Snoring

If your partner snores, you're not the only one getting a bad night's sleep. Snoring can be a sign of a sleep disorder or other anatomical issues that prevent people from getting a good—and quiet—night's sleep.

Behavioral Problems

It comes as a surprise to many parents that bedwetting and many childhood behavioral problems are often caused by sleep disordered breathing. Helping kids get a better night's sleep sets them up for success both at school and at home.

Heart Disease
Heart Disease

What happens in your mouth doesn't stay there. The same harmful bacteria that we know cause gingivitis and gum disease travel through the blood stream, causing inflammation in vital organs like your heart and blood vessels. And you thought bleeding gums were no big deal!

Diabetes
Diabetes

Did you know that having gum disease can actually make it harder for people with diabetes to control their blood sugar? That means going to the dentist should be a top priority for people with pre-diabetes and diabetes.

The Mouth-Body Connection
The Mouth-Body Connection

When we talk about your oral health, we're thinking about it in the context of your whole body health. Some conditions (heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy, for example), are seriously affected by what goes on in your mouth - and can affect your oral health in return. It's our job to help you and your family become healthier as a whole.

Where Dental Care

Meets Health Care

A Whole-Body Approach to Dental Care

Any dentist can fill a cavity or make you a crown. Any dental hygienist can polish your teeth. What we do at The Center for Dental Health is more than your average dentistry. The health of your mouth affects the health of your entire body, so don't be surprised when we ask you about how you're sleeping, what your diet is like, and whether you have a family history of heart attacks or diabetes. Sure, we do all the normal restorative and cosmetic dentistry that you've come to expect from a trip to the dentist's office. But we're all about going above and beyond standard dental care to help you achieve a greater level of health and wellness.
