When most patients think about being healthy, the mouth probably isn\u2019t the first thing that comes to mind. But your oral and overall health are closely correlated. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so critical to not only your oral health to visit Dr. George T. Philip, but your overall health. Come receive your preventive care before it\u2019s too late and you\u2019re googling for a \u201cdentist near me!\u201d\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Mouth and the Rest of Your Body: One Entity!<\/h2>\r\n\u201cOral health and general health should not be interpreted as separate entities. \u2026 As the gateway of the body, the mouth senses and responds to the external world and at the same time reflects what is happening deep inside the body. \u2026 You cannot be healthy without oral health.\u201d This couldn\u2019t be more true! This statement was found in the U.S. Surgeon General\u2019s 2000 report, and sums up why patients that keep their regular appointments live a much healthier lifestyle compared to those that skip out on their dental visits.\r\n

We keep an eye out for chronic diseases and prevent them with excellent dental care!<\/h2>\r\nWhen you visist Dr. Philip for preventive care, he will examine your mouth thoroughly to look for problems like these:\r\n

Diabetes<\/h3>\r\nDid you know that gum disease affects 22 percent of people diagnosed with diabetes? People with diabetes have a harder time fighting off harmful bacteria, making it easier to develop gum disease. Also, bacteria from the mouth can cause blood sugar to spike and fluctuate, making it even harder to manage their diabetes. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to have your teeth professionally cleaned to remove plaque and tartar buildup regularly.\r\n

Heart Disease<\/h3>\r\nAstonishingly, up to 91 percent of patients with heart disease have gum disease. It is believed that the link between these two conditions is inflammation<\/a>. Because more substances are able to directly enter the bloodstream, there could be blockages forming in your body at a much faster rate and that takes a toll on your heart health. Again, when you visit your dentist in Sunnyvale, you can have that dangerous debris removed from your mouth to keep your gums and heart strong!\r\n

Cancer<\/h3>\r\nThe signs of oral cancer can easily be confused for other dental problems and even be ignored. This is a tragic fact because when cancer is found in its advanced stages, patients have a much higher change of being detrimentally affected by it. Whereas if a patient\u2019s symptom of oral cancer is discovered in its preliminary stages, your chances of survival are upwards to 80-90%!\r\n

Other Health Complications<\/h2>\r\nBad oral health can be linked to strokes, kidney disease, osteoporosis, and even lung conditions. As you can see, visiting a dental practice isn\u2019t just about a bright, beautiful smile, it\u2019s about keeping your entire body at optimal health. Dr. Philip is here to help you. Get the care your body needs and deserves starting with your smile.
