812-853-3313The Dental Exam that you receive when you have your teeth cleaned is very valuable. When Drs. Ogle, Schmitz, and Hart examine your mouth following a dental cleaning- most people have no idea what they are evaluating. Not only are they investigating the healthiness of your teeth, they are evaluating the entire mouth including the tongue, gums, skin, and all visible tissue in the mouth. The mouth provides a view of the body as a whole.  Early signs of diabetes, cancer, pregnancy, immune disorders, hormone imbalances and drug issues show up in the teeth, gums, and tongue. This examination can present these health problems way before the patient realizes that they have any symptoms that they would notice. Also, there is growing evidence that oral health problems such as gum disease can harm a patients health as well. Gum disease can raise the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, pneumonia and pregnancy complications.  So that Dental Exam is extremely valuable to promote wellness for your teeth and to monitor your wellness for your whole body! Family Dentistry in Newburgh, Indiana is prepared to help you and your family be healthy in 2012!!
