CAN MY CAVITIES REALLY MAKE ME SICK?

Many times when we diagnose cavities, patients ask, "Do they really need to be filled? After all, it's just my teeth." The answer is YES! Read on:

Researchers uncovered a mummy 2100 years old who was a wealthy man from Thebes. His age was determined to be between 20 and 30 years of age. The cause of death was determined to be a serious sinus infection resulting from a mouthful of cavities and other dental problems. After researchers examined his mouth with a CT scan, many abscesses and cavities were found that contributed and caused a serious sinus infection.The sinus infection was so bad, it caused a very painful death.

Each day we are presented with patients who are diagnosed with both minor and serious dental decay. We cannot stress enough, how important it is to have any dental decay addressed immediately. The infection caused by cavities can be severe and life threatening if not treated.
