Poor Oral Health and Its Impact in the Workplace : Dentacōr

Poor oral health can lead to worse outcomes than just a toothache.

Sure, when we have a cavity, this can distract us from completing everyday tasks. However, missing regular dental exams and poor oral habits can lead to ‘deeper’ problems.

Regular dental exams can save many hours in the long run. Biannual checkups not only provide a deep cleaning of your teeth and gums that leave your mouth feeling fresh and you smiling brighter, but can also reduce disease-causing bacteria.

Oral diseases have been found to not always just remain in the mouth. A close link between oral health and illnesses such as Alzheimer’s and cardiovascular disease highlights the importance of maintaining a close relationship with your dentist! The good news is that it can all be preventable if we just stick to our regular dental exams.

But, we understand visiting the dentist can be costly and time-consuming. 320.8 million work and school hours are missed each year for dental care in the United States. That’s why Dentacōr comes to you! Because your smile matters, we come to the comfort of your home or office. Dentacōr accepts all insurances including Medicaid. We are changing the way people think about the dentist. No more long waits in the dentist’s office and no more missing school or work because we accommodate late evenings and weekends.
