Great Dental Hygiene – a Raleigh Health Necessity

Are you keeping up with your dental hygiene, Raleigh? We know that it isn’t easy to fit things that seem inessential into your busy schedule, but your regular dental cleanings and exams are more important than you may think! Keeping your teeth and gums clear and healthy with a professional cleaning can help protect you from gum disease, a problem that has been linked to everything from premature and low birth-weight babies to deadly pancreatic cancer and strokes. While you are with us for your dental cleaning, we are also comparing your dental health to our records so that if a problem develops, we can catch it while it is still very small. In addition, we examine you for the first signs of oral cancer, a very prevalent cancer that can be caused by smoking, too much sun exposure and even HPV. So as you can see, when you come in for your regular hygiene visits, you aren’t just protecting and cleaning your smile – you are protecting your health! For more information about dental hygiene and exams in Raleigh, NC, call Renaissance Dental Center at 919-786-6766, or visit www.northhillsdentists.com for more information.
