Keeping Bones Strong In White Plains

Categories: General

The Dental Design Center There is a connection that links osteoporosis and oral health. If you are a woman, you have probably heard about the high rate of osteoporosis in America and the state of New York is no exception. Osteoporosis can often progress without any outward symptoms. However, there may be clues in a person’s mouth that indicate compromised bones in the rest of the body.

The following dental and periodontal issues could indicate the presence of osteoporosis:

  • Gum detachment
  • Ill-fitting dentures
  • Jaw bone recession and erosion
  • Difficulty with ordinary mouth function such as eating or speaking

There are many NYC dental professionals that can determine the presence of bone deterioration with x-rays and other diagnostic tools. If we suspect the possibility of osteoporosis, we can refer you to a local medical professional, whether you live in Scarsdale, Westchester County or New Castle.

The experienced dentists at The Dental Design Center are trained in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the oral health problems sometimes associated with osteoporosis. Schedule a consultation in White Plains by calling 914-683-5898 to discuss your dental concerns.

We can also tell you about the cosmetic dental services we provide. Aesthetic dentistry continues to improve smiles for our patients in the NYC area.

If you suspect you may be suffering from osteoporosis, please see your physician right away.
