What Your Dentist Can Tell About Your Health

Oral care is a vital element of your overall health. You might be surprised what Dr. Petinge can learn about your health just by the condition of your gums and mouth. Nutrition imbalances, lifestyle choices, and even early symptoms of serious diseases can cause changes in your teeth and gum health. Here are just a few of the health conditions that Dr. Petinge and his Saugus team can spot on your regular cleaning and examination:

  1. Diabetes
  2. Irregular flossing
  3. Excessive soda and energy drink consumption
  4. Eating disorders
  5. Nail biting
  6. Sinus infections
  7. Vitamin deficiency
  8. Alcohol dependency

Never be worried that Dr Petinge or our team will judge you — we consider it an honor to be part of your healthcare team, and to help you achieve your best health. Dental care is an important part of your holistic health. Make an appointment with Petinge Dental in Saugus, MA for a consultation and evaluation about your oral health.
