Managing Chronic Conditions

Periodontal (gum) disease can increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. Patients with chronic conditions like diabetes are also more likely to develop oral problems. Regular, preventive dental care and treatment can help lower blood sugar, decrease risk of heart attack, and manage health outcomes.

We provide education on dental care and coverage for pregnant women. View our event calendar for upcoming events, or contact us to learn more.
