When you visit our office, your overall health is our top priority. Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with the personalized, gentle care that you deserve. We are a Complete Health Dental Office. We understand that good oral health is an integral part of preventive cardiology, diabetic care, and a major part of the prevention of any inflammatory disease! Inflammatory diseases that can be triggered by oral inflammation including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease, Alzheimer’s disease, pneumonia, preterm and low-weight births and various cancers. If we view oral health as a major pillar of overall health, it becomes even more important for every individual to have a healthy mouth. Even as few as two professional cleanings per year can reduce a person’s risk for heart attack by 25% according to research presented at a recent American Heart Association meeting. How does this change the way we function as dentists? A lot and there's also a lot to learn. As an Integrative practitioner, our goal is to offer services to the practice in a manner that meets the desires of the patients that we treat. Some of you want to leave this analysis to your primary care physician, others would love it if we could provide some of these screening services at our office. We are happy to be a part of this emerging field. Drs. Giovanni & Sandra
