We spend time reviewing patients' medical histories along with regular blood pressure screenings to get an overall picture of our patients' health. Many times patients have an associated problem that has oral ramifications.

Many people clench and grind their teeth during the night and don't even know it. This can lead to serious problems for some people. Clenching and grinding is common during times of stress and when someone has airway issues like sleep apnea. Although many people clench and grind about 10-20% develop symptoms.

In this world of carbonated beverages, fruit juices, and sour candies, we are eroding the enamel off our teeth at alarming rates. The process of enamel erosion is starting with our children. More children today are exposed to soft drinks and sweet and sour candies than a generation before. Besides our teeth, the acidic levels in the food and beverages we intake affects our digestive system, leading to GERD, gastro esophageal reflux disease. Water has a neutral PH of 7, carbonated drinks have a lower acid PH ranging from 3.7 - 2.5.
