Hi! I’m Doctor Rena Vakay, dental surgery. Most every day, I can be found at my Centreville 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) Centreville diabetes patients with high blood glucose often have a higher risk of dental issues. If you have diabetes, let’s talk. My number is 703-815-0775.
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 Chantilly and Fairfax 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 Gainesville dental patients 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.
