When was the last time your doctor gave you his cell phone number? Were willing to bet it wasnt recently. Do you have the personal email address of your dental hygienist? If youre not visiting Pensacola Family Dental, its not likely. When choosing a dentist, you want someone you can reach in an emergency; a team thats available and accommodating when you have follow-up questions, even when its after 5:00 or on a weekend.

Ever wonder why you see the same pictures on a lot of dental websites? Oftentimes, the before and after photos on a practices website are actually stock images purchased from a photo service. Deceptive, right? And the average customer has no way of knowing otherwise. When inquiring about a dental procedure, make it a point to ask if the photos shown are the actual work of the dentist youll be seeing. Its a great idea to ask for snapshots that are specific to the procedure youll be having done. Each and every clinical photo seen on our website is one of our actual patients showing off the million-dollar smile achieved right here at Pensacola Family Dental. If you dont see photos of a procedure youre looking for, please ask. Well be glad to show you legitimate examples of our expert work.
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. If thats true, then the mouth is the front door. Our mouths are a gateway for illness, affecting the wellness of our entire body. Dental bacteria has been shown to play a contributing role in many serious health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke and even Alzheimers. The Surgeon General reports that 80% of American adults have gum disease. Thats four out of every five people! Its because of this direct link between the wellness of the mouth and the wellness of the body that high-quality dental care is so crucial.
At Pensacola Family Dental we take a comprehensive approach to dentistry, building a healthy body from the foundation of a healthy mouth; a true focus on total health. Healthy gums lower our risk for developing diabetes, pancreatic cancer and kidney cancer, while gum therapy improves blood vessel health and helps prevent heart attack and stroke. This is because the same plaque that builds up on our teeth can build up in our arteries and heart, creating blockages. Proper dental care calls for a visit to the dentist twice a year. This is likely more often than you see any other physician, especially if youre generally in good health.
