Welcome to Reflection Dental

Our health conscious society recognizes the benefit of a healthy lifestyle…eating right, exercising and maintaining good oral health. Oral health has a profound affect on your overall health. Research has linked infections in the gums and bone (periodontal disease) to blocked arteries, strokes and heart disease. The same plaque which forms on teeth, lines the arteries to the heart. Gum disease is also linked to bacterial pneumonia, pre-term delivery, low birth weight babies and uncontrolled diabetes.

Plaque consists of a sticky film of bacteria and its byproducts. This coating constantly forms on the teeth and can be removed with daily home brushing and flossing. If left on, either through poor home or irregular timing of professional cleaning, it can lead to disease which can result in tooth loss and problems throughout the body caused by the bacteria entering your blood at the site of the infection. This shows the extreme importance that your regular dental checkups and cleaning have in monitoring the effectiveness of your home care and professionally removing plaque when necessary. Please take your oral health seriously, we do.
