General Dentistry
The main goal of general dentistry is to study, diagnosis and treat diseases of the teeth and their supporting structures. Through rehabilitation of the dentition Dr. Michaelson helps patients reach optimal health. Many people are not aware that your oral health can offer clues about your overall health or that problems in your mouth can affect the rest of your body. It is very important to understand the intimate connection between oral health and overall health and what you can do to protect yourself.
Your mouth is teeming with bacteria. Under normal healthy conditions the body’s natural defenses can keep these bacteria under control. However, if you have broken, missing, or decayed teeth, harmful bacteria grow out of control and cause oral infections. Restoring your mouth and ultimately your body to health begins with general dentistry.
