Total Health Dental Care at DeLand Smiles
Only recently has modern dentistry begun to recognize that there is a link between the health of the mouth and the health of the body.
But DeLand Smiles has implemented this approach to patient care since they first opened DeLand Smiles in 2000.

“It pays to go to the dentist! After examining my teeth, the doctor advised me to have a questionable area checked out. The ENT doctor and my oncologist found a recurrence of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma, Stage Four.
After four treatments, my oncologist refers to me as the ‘miracle woman’… Yes, it pays to go to the dentist.”

How Does My Oral Health Affect My Body?
When active oral infections are present, the bacteria are able to enter into your bloodstream. These bacteria have been found in the blood vessels of patients who have suffered heart attack or stroke. Not only that, but this process also places a great level of strain on your immune system, increasing inflammation and making it much more difficult for your body to fight off infection.
