Pre-Surgical Dental Clearances

Highest Level of Service Using the Latest Techniques

Cardiologists, transplant surgeons, oncologists, and other physicians often administer serious and even life-saving treatments. Believe it or not, dentists can help. Because all aspects of the body are connected and relevant to overall health, dentists can partner with physicians to improve outcomes for patients – without significantly increasing the cost or effort involved.

Extensive research shows that dental disease, inflammation, and oral bacteria play a role in post-surgical complications such as endocarditis (a heart valve infection linked to oral bacteria), post-transplant complications, immune system compromise, and oral sores that inhibit comfort and needed nutrition for cancer patients. Providing dental treatments that rid the mouth of abscess and chronic infection and reduce periodontal bacteria and disease can enhance the predictable outcomes of these major medical treatments.
