• During a dental checkup, your dentist can detect oral cancer in its earliest stages or even when cells in your mouth are precancerous?

• Routine teeth cleanings can help diabetics keep their disease in check?

• Maintaining good oral health during pregnancy improves the odds of having healthy, full-term babies?

These are just some of the reasons why maintaining good oral health, including regular visits to the dentist, are key to good overall health.

In fact, scientific studies are finding that a healthy mouth is necessary to maintaining a healthy body.
