Just like the information you provide to your doctor helps him\/her keep your health in good shape, <a href=\"http:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/meet-us\/\">Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams<\/a> depend on your input for optimum dental health. We at Carolina Complete Dental like to go above and beyond for our Goose Creek patients, but we need your help to make sure you get the quality dental care you deserve. Here are a few reasons why:<\/p>\n<p>The average Goose Creek resident might not think to mention to their dentist what\u2019s going on with their physical health, but you\u2019d be surprised how much that information can make a difference in your oral care. Dr. Barganier needs to be able to see the whole picture so that we can keep your teeth healthy and beautiful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diabetes and Dental Health<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>750,000 \u00a0Americans are diagnosed with diabetes every year. However, few diabetes sufferers know the full extent of the disorder\u2019s effect on your teeth. If you have diabetes, you are much more likely to develop:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tooth decay<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/carolinacompletedental.com\/services\/gum-disease-treatment\/\">Advanced Gum disease<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Xerostomia (dry mouth)<\/li>\n<li>Oral ulcers<\/li>\n<li>Fungal infections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>TMJ<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Temporomandibular joint disfuntion <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Temporomandibular_joint_dysfunction\">(TMD\/TMJ)<\/a> results from improper workings of your jaw joint. Unfortunately the symptoms of TMJ are so diverse that most Goose Creek people would never think to tell Dr. Barganier about them. However, we at Carolina Complete Dental can treat your TMD. Here are a few common symptoms signs of TMJ:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Abnormally sensitive teeth<\/li>\n<li>Painful chewing<\/li>\n<li>Headaches<\/li>\n<li>Dizziness<\/li>\n<li>Neck pain and\/or stiffness<\/li>\n<li>Earaches<\/li>\n<li>Ringing in the ears<\/li>\n<li>Face pain<\/li>\n<li>Jaw aches<\/li>\n<li>Popping, clicking, or grinding of the jaw<\/li>\n<li>Frequent dislocation or locking of the jaw<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty or pain in opening the mouth wide<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Physical impairments to brushing\/flossing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have recently injured your hands, fingers, arms, shoulders, or suffer from any type of arthritis or physical disability, you may not be able to brush and floss as well as you should. There are ways to help Goose Creek residents improve their dental health beyond brushing and flossing, but Dr. Barganier, Dr. Zuffi, Dr. Williams, and Dr. McAdams need to know so that we can provide you with the oral hygiene help you need.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Side-Effects and Dental Health<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Did you know that more than 600 over-the-counter and prescription medications cause dry mouth, and many others can harm teeth in different ways? In fact, it is estimated that <strong>40% of the population takes at least one medication that can harm their teeth.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So the next time you visit Carolina Complete Dental and Dr. Barganier asks how you are, be honest!
