Five questions you should be asking your dentist
You may not know this, but the health of your mouth can impact the health of your body. Your mouth is full of bacteria, and if you don’t properly care for your teeth, the bad bacteria can enter your bloodstream and spread to other parts of your body. That’s why we created a guide with five questions you should ask your dentist. These questions can lead to eye-opening oral health information that could be connected to other health issues in your body.
About the guide
The PDF guide, “The five questions you should ask your dentist, and why they’re critical to your health,” contains the most important questions that the founder of The Dental Medical Convergence, Dr. Chuck Reinertsen, believes you should ask your dentist. These questions can lead to a bigger conversation about your overall health. According to Dr. Chuck, properly caring for your mouth can greatly reduce your chances of developing diseases including cardiovascular disease, stroke, and pregnancy complications.
You can print the guide and take it to your next dental appointment. Then ask your dentist the five questions, note the answers, and share them with your physician. Our goal is to bridge the dental-medical divide, and this guide is one simple way to start. When dentists and doctors trade notes on what they see, important patterns come to light, including the link between oral health and heart disease. Opening those lines of communication helps everyone take better care of your whole-body health.
Dr. Chuck says most people don’t realize how a few questions can improve their dental and overall health. In this guide, you’ll have the resources you need to help yourself and others.
