We are here today to teach you about some of the most common systemic diseases that may lead to consequences that can impact your oral health. There are many chronic conditions that are common among Americans that necessitate special consideration when it comes to oral health. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, the oral complications of systemic disease are well known and patients with various systemic conditions should be educated on the warning signs of the development of dental conditions can exist. Patients with systemic conditions should also develop impeccable oral hygiene practices and make sure that their dentist is aware of existing medical conditions and their physician is aware of existing dental conditions.

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Root Canals
November 3, 2015
This week we are going to dive into the topic of root canals and hopefully dispel any misconceptions that you may have regarding one of dentistry’s most feared procedures. In a recent survey completed on behalf of the American Association of Endodontists, more than 70% of people stated that they were fearful of root canals. We wonder how many of these people are actually fearful of the procedure and how many of them are really just scared of the unknown. Today, we hope to describe to you the details of a root canal in a way that makes sense to you. We also want to tackle some of the frequently asked questions that we hear from our patients and read about online. By doing this, we hope that we can get rid of some of the fear of the unknown that exists surrounding this procedure. For a general overview of root canal treatment that we do here, please visit this our root canal section of our website.
