Our reputation in the community is based in part on the time that we take with our patients. While educating them in the best treatment plan for each individual, we listen to their concerns and together devise a plan which best suits their needs. First and foremost, our goal is for the patient to be comfortable with all decisions discussed regarding their oral health while in our care. We have built our practice on trust and confidence.Our team at East Haddam Dental, located in Moodus - East Haddam Connecticut, provides preventative, comprehensive care of the oral environment resulting in the best and healthiest smile. Our dental professionals pride themselves in treating our patients in not only their oral care but their entire physical condition. There is definitive scientific evidence that some of the infections of the heart are directly related to the status of the mouth and that infections to a joint replacement could be directly related to poor oral hygiene. There is also a direct correlation between the periodontal health of an individual to the efficacy of diabetic treatment and to the response of the patient to insulin and regulation of their diabetes. If a diabetic patient exhibits poor oral hygiene, the physician may not be able to keep their sugar levels stable; also if the patient's insulin dependence is unstable, this could be related to the degree of control of periodontal disease. It is so important for the physician, the dentist, and the patient to work as a team and share in the responsibility of total care and good health.
