Hi! I’m Doctor Gerry Casazza, DMD. Most every day, I can be found at my Wakefield dental practice treating dental patients with tooth and gum problems or helping patients prevent them. Many common medical conditions pose a risk to oral health.
1) Wakefield diabetes patients with high blood glucose often have a higher risk of dental issues. If you have diabetes, let’s talk.
2) A persistent dry mouth due to an inadequate amount of saliva can accelerate tooth decay, cause or contribute to gum disease, and trigger chronic bad breath. Many medications used by thousands of Dracut and Billerica folks, including those for high blood pressure and depression, cause dry mouth. This side effect is not only unpleasant, it is dangerous. Anti-depressants (especially SSRI’s) and anti-psychotic drugs can also trigger tooth grinding (bruxism).
3) Acid reflux in children and adults is associated with a host of dental problems such as decay and periodontal disease.
I help many patients from throughout Greater Boston and Merrimack Valley prevent problems associated with medical conditions that sometimes seem unrelated to dental health. Regular professional dental care is essential for oral health, and an important part of your overall physical health. Reach out today to set up an appointment!
