Across Livonia and Metro Detroit, we are all about keeping our patients healthy and smiling at DeCapite Family and Cosmetic Dentistry. While Dr. Jim DeCapite focuses on dental health, the preventative work we offer in our Livonia office provides even more benefits for our valued patients. Our staff encourages everyone to maintain good oral hygiene, to brush and floss regularly, as make that important regular cleaning with one of our professional dental hygienists.
Taking care of dental health, especially spending a few extra minutes to brush and floss, and keeping up to date on routine cleanings and exams, can provide even unexpected benefits.
From Dr. Jim DeCapite, here are four very important benefits when teeth are healthy:
- Overall physical health: Dental health affects many parts of the body. We often do not think about our oral hygiene being connected to our heart, but gum disease has been shown to impact such health issues as heart disease and diabetes.
- Financial savings. Extensive dental repair work can be expensive. Most dental plans cover the cost of routine exams and cleanings. And we want to be affordable for everyone who needs help with their dental health. It is with that in mind that we encourage all of our patients to take good care of their teeth now; it will prevent problems in the future.
- Preserved memory. A surprising finding has suggested that patients with healthy gums actually perform better on memory tests than those patients who suffer from gum disease. Good dental health may actually help preserve excellent memory and cognitive skills!
- Self-confidence. A nice smile and fresh breath always makes people feel better when in public. Knowing that our mouth is healthy and clean boosts self-confidence and gives us a better outlook on our day. Maintaining good dental health will help make sure that we are ready to smile with confidence. It brightens our day and all those around us as well!
Dr. Jim DeCapite is a skilled dentist with over 30 years of experience helping his patients take good care of their dental health. Every day, he looks forward to meeting the dental needs of his patients in the Livonia, Redford, Dearborn Heights, Plymouth, and surrounding Metro Detroit communities.
