Whether you realize it or not, your mouth shows signs of major health concerns that affect your whole body\u2014not always dental issues. Visiting Elmbrook Family Dentistry ensures that our professionals will keep an eye out for large problems and address them as soon as possible. This includes oral cancer, gum disease, and the diseases that could develop from advanced gum disease. Let\u2019s explore what one of our dental experts could run into during your next dental checkup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oral Cancer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The signs of oral cancer can be hard to notice to the untrained eye, but our dental professionals will be able to look for these symptoms during a dental exam:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A sore that will not heal or bleeds profusely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A lump in the hard or soft tissues of your mouth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Change in oral tissue color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Numbness or pain in areas around the mouth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty swallowing, talking, earing, or moving the jaw or tongue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to seek treatment for oral cancer during its preliminary stages. The chances of surviving oral cancer is nearly doubled if treated early on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gum Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many patients don\u2019t realize they could have been taking action to prevent gum disease by regularly visiting their Pewaukee dentist. During your appointment, you will receive a deep cleaning that dramatically reduces the chances of developing gum disease. Your dentist may notice these symptoms if your mouth is becoming infected with gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Red, swollen gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tender gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bleeding when brushing or flossing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Buildup of pus between gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loose fitting teeth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Receding gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pockets of infection along your gum line<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chronic bad breath<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chronic Diseases Catalyzed by Gum Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret\u2014your mouth and the rest of your body have an intimate connection. In fact, if you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/press_releases\/heart-disease-oral-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">don\u2019t regularly and properly remove dental plaque and bacteria<\/a>, your overall health could suffer. Healthy gums and teeth keep your body equally strong. When gums deteriorate from advanced gum disease, your body tries to protect itself with inflammation, leaving your bloodstream susceptible to dental plaque buildup. You could experience strokes, heart disease, kidney disease, and develop diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Elmbrook Family Dental is Here to Help!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you make a visit to our office for a general dentistry appointment, our dentists always perform a comprehensive exam and review the news when it\u2019s completed.
