Keeping Up With Dental Cleanings and Exams in the Woodlands

 When was the last time you were in our Woodlands office for a dental cleaning and exam? Life these days is so busy it is easy to forget to take time for the basics. But dental cleanings and exams aren’t actually so basic. They are a crucial factor in keeping your mouth – and your body – healthy. Why? First, your gums and their health can have a huge impact on the rest of your body. When gums are infected, that infection can cause an inflammatory response, and that response has been shown to lead to heart attacks, strokes, cancers, Diabetic concerns, respiratory issues, joint replacement problems – the list goes on and on! Dentalcleanings and exams are also important to help diagnose oral cancer in its earliest stage and to protect your teeth by finding cavities while they are still almost invisible to the naked eye. To schedule your regular dentalcleaning and check up, call me, Dr. Shirley Cagle, at my Woodlands, Texas office at 281.681.9442 or visit www.shirleycagledds.com.
