The Connection Between Dental Technology and Overall Health
Your oral health is closely connected to your overall health. During dental checkups, we look for signs of conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders, which may show early indicators in your mouth.
Oral cancer screenings are another vital part of your dental visit. Detecting oral cancer in its early stages significantly increases the chances of successful treatment, making these screenings potentially life-saving.
A Life-Changing Discovery with 3D Imaging
A patient came in for a routine visit, not expecting anything out of the ordinary. However, our 3D X-ray technology revealed a concerning shadow near their jawbone. After further evaluation, we discovered a cyst that could have caused serious damage if left untreated. Because we caught it early, we were able to treat it before it led to pain, bone loss, or more invasive surgery. The patient left relieved, grateful that a simple scan made such a big difference in their health.
