Recent research indicates oral health is inseparable from overall health, that it is in fact involved in the prevention of diabetes and heart disease. The mouth is the gateway to the body, and your dental exam dentist in LA is your primary source of information.
During your exam, your dentist performs a full evaluation of your head and neck which can lead in the discovery of any abnormality, however small. Cysts and even skin cancer are often found this way. Early detection is key for all forms of cancer, and oral cancer is highly treatable if found in its earliest stage.
You can make your dentist’s job easier by brushing and flossing regularly, and watching your intake of sodas, red wines, and sugary snacks.
