Stress And The Effect on Your Oral Health

At Northridge Dental Group, we want our patients to understand the effect lifestyle has on oral health. Do you often find yourself overwhelmed with aspects of your life? Do you feel that you experience high levels of stress on a regular basis? If so, we want to share some ways that the stress caused by your lifestyle may be leading to serious issues with your oral health.

Does This Describe You?

Did we recommend a dental treatment for you or a loved one on your visit, and you have yet to schedule your appointment? We know that life is busy and there is always something to occupy your time. Between obligations with work, family, and friends, there never seems to be a dull moment. No matter how busy you may be, making your oral health a priority is extremely important, not only for the sake of your oral health but also for your overall health. We understand that we may not have recommended a treatment to you during your last visit, but being knowledgeable about the need to receive a recommended treatment in a timely fashion is important.

Gum Disease Awareness Month

While many of our patients are focused on love and celebrating Valentine’s Day, at Northridge Dental Group, we are focused on Gum Disease Awareness Month. February is recognized as Gum Disease Awareness Month in an effort to make the public aware of the prevalence of the disease and the lasting effects that it can cause if left untreated. Also commonly known as periodontal disease, gum disease affects more than half of American adults and often remains undetected when regular dental care is not received.

Looking At The Year Ahead

Happy 2023! We hope that you had a wonderful holiday season enjoying time with the people you love. The start of a new year is the perfect time to reflect on the past and think about what you would like to accomplish during the next year. We want our patients to think about the state of their oral health. When was the last time you visited our office for a hygiene examination and cleaning? Did we recommend a treatment during your last visit, but you have been putting off scheduling the appointment? The start of a new year is the best time to schedule any necessary appointments. We want to help you prevent any dental emergencies or issues. Read on to learn more.
