Lost Teeth Impact Total Health - Dr. Carmody Can Help
In the past,
even in the Rockledge area, the loss of teeth
(edentulism) was dismissed as a natural part of the aging process, and dentures were considered a normal sign of old age.While such ignorance is rapidly becoming a thing of the past
in Rockledge, there is still not a general awareness of the seriousness of edentulism.
Multiple tooth loss is most commonly caused by periodontal disease,
i.e. gum and bone disease. At Dennis J Carmody DDS we know that periodontal disease has a high statistical correlation with chronic debilitating diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and arthritis.
So it is not very surprising that studies now show a shortened life expectancy by as much as 10 years for persons who have lost their natural teeth, when compared to those who have kept their teeth.
In addition to longevity, quality-of-life differences are just as significant. The functional efficiency of dentures has been measured to be only 20% of that of natural teeth. Dr. Carmody feels that there cannot be any doubt that nutritional deficiencies will be much more prevalent in those without their natural teeth
Loss of teeth often causes a feeling of loss of wholeness and a sense of deterioration and aging. Given these factors, we feel at Dennis J Carmody DDS that preservation of the natural teeth is integral to whole-person wellness.

*Minimal sedation, also known as anxiolysis, is the use of oral and inhalation medications to relieve anxiety before and during dental procedures that minimally reduce consciousness in an effort to reduce fear and anxiety, while still maintaining normal breathing and the ability to respond appropriately to physical and verbal stimulation.
