Dentistry for Diabetics

People living with diabetes are vulnerable to a host of systemic problems in the entire body. Unfortunately, the mouth and teeth are not immune from such problems, and many diabetics with oral problems go undiagnosed until conditions become advanced. Diabetes is a risk factor for severe periodontal disease and diabetics are more likely to develop periodontal disease than nondiabetics. In some cases, periodontal disease increases the severity of diabetes and complicates control of the metabolism and blood sugar levels needed for diabetic care. Control of periodontal infection with the help of a diabetes dentist well-versed in diabetic oral health strategies is an essential component of long-term diabetes control.

Oncology & Dental Health

Cancer treatments can have a comprehensive impact on your overall health, including your dental well-being. These treatments may lead to issues such as inflammation, infections, changes in taste, dry mouth, pain, tooth decay, gum disease, and mouth sores. It is crucial for patients to communicate any cancer treatments to their dentist and to inform their oncologist of any planned dental procedures. For those undergoing cancer treatment, regular dental exams and cleanings are essential. Although maintaining oral hygiene remains fundamentally similar for everyone, the effects of cancer treatments on the teeth and gums make it even more vital to adhere to diligent dental care.

Mercury-Free Dentistry

Dental Health & Wellness Boston advocates for mercury-free dentistry to reduce toxicity for everyone, especially the chemically sensitive. Mercury/amalgam use is avoided in our practice because of toxicity problems associated with mercury and low levels of mercury vapor released over time. We feel that mercury/amalgam is not only bad for your teeth, but also the human body in general. Our wellness initiative focuses on our patient’s optimum health; therefore, we are strong advocates of mercury-free dentistry. Becoming a mercury-free practice is just one more step in meeting our goal of helping you achieve optimum dental care for your health, your looks, and your life.
