| The American Heart Association acknowledges the value of good oral hygiene to maintaining good overall health. This is especially true when it comes to keeping your teeth and gums healthy. About 75 percent of the population has some form of gum disease but most of us don’t even know we have it. It’s a huge benefit to treat this at the earliest stage to avoid gum disease and maintain good oral health. Aspen Dental practices provide a wide range of general dentistry and denture services. In addition to offering patients the choice of eight styles of Aspen Dental’s exclusive ComfiDents® brand full and partial dentures, Aspen Dental provides comprehensive exams, hygiene services, treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, extractions, fillings, oral surgery, whitening, and crown and bridge work. The office features digital radiography and offers advanced screening for oral cancer. Aspen Dental is now offering 20% off dentistry and select dentures, as well as free new patient exams and x-rays for patients without insurance. |
| Aspen Dental connects oral health and overall health. Periodontal disease affects about 75% of adults in the United States, yet most people don't know they have it. Why are regular dental exams so important for those who have their natural teeth and even for those who don't. Aspen Dental provides dental services that range from dentures and preventive care to general dentistry and restoration. |

| Our nation’s economy continues to flounder…unemployment is more than 9 percent…people are losing health benefits or choosing not to participate in their company’s benefits plan. People are dealing with difficult choices—even when it comes to taking care of themselves. Some people are inclined to put off medical care unless it’s an emergency. This is often the case when it comes to our oral health. |

| There’s a growing body of research to indicate that gum disease is linked with the incidence of all kinds of common health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Part of the problem is that gum disease is painless, so people may not even realize that they have a problem. But a survey by the Journal of Dental Hygiene found that the reasons range from concerns about cost and missing work to fear and embarrassment. The good news is that oral cancer can be treated if discovered early – that’s why screening is so important. At Aspen Dental, they offer patients a screening called Vizilite Plus, which uses a blue-light, “glowstick” technology to detect oral cancer. |
