Your smile plays a big role in your overall health. A mouth free from disease and decay positively influences whole-body wellness. In our opinion, there’s no better way to achieve optimal oral health than through proactive preventive dentistry from Dr. Murphy and our dental team.
Safeguard Your Smile, Protect Your Health
Six-month checkups and cleanings provide the first line of defense against tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental conditions that negatively impact oral and overall health. Regularly visiting our office for comprehensive dental exams shows that you value your smile and lets Dr. Murphy prevent small issues from becoming big problems. For example, treating gum disease with traditional or laser therapy renews gum health and reduces your risk of developing serious health problems – such as heart disease, diabetes complications, and low birth weight – linked to this dangerous bacterial infection. Restoring a decayed tooth with a white filling restores the appearance and comfort of the tooth while protecting against further damage.
If your child is involved in sports, a custom-fitted athletic mouthguard will help keep teeth in the mouth and not on the playing field! Customized TMJ therapy restores comfortable function to stressed jaw joints and eliminates the pain caused by this common condition.
The bottom line? We’ve got the services you need for a lifetime of whole-mouth and whole-body health.
Call today to schedule your appointment with Dr. Murphy. Our Athens office is conveniently located and home to quality care for lasting smiles.
