Oral health plays a crucial role in your overall health. Certain types of oral bacteria and the inflammation they cause are often linked to other serious diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, complications during pregnancy, and stroke. Additionally, certain medical conditions and the medications used to treat them can weaken your body’s ability to fight infections or produce saliva, worsening oral bacteria problems. This is why regular, comprehensive dental exams at Desert Pearl Dentistry are essential to preventing both oral and overall health issues. Quality dental care is a key part of maintaining long-term health and wellness!
Common Oral Diseases
There are several serious oral diseases that can affect your oral health, including:
-
Fibroma

At Desert Pearl Dentistry, our team is specially trained to identify the symptoms and early signs of these diseases. With our experience, we can diagnose and treat these conditions effectively, helping you maintain optimal oral health.
Additionally, some diseases originating in other parts of the body may first show symptoms in the mouth.
