When you think about being healthy, you might picture things like eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep. But there’s one crucial part of your body that often gets overlooked in conversations about overall health—your mouth. At 1101 Dental, we’re passionate about helping our patients understand that oral health isn’t just about teeth; it’s about your whole body.
Maintaining a healthy mouth is about more than just preventing cavities or avoiding bad breath. In fact, your oral health is directly linked to your systemic health in ways that are both profound and scientifically proven. So today, we’re breaking down why taking care of your mouth is one of the best things you can do for your entire body.

 As a parent, your baby’s comfort, development, and health are always top priorities. From those first sleepy snuggles to the early challenges of feeding and growing, every detail matters—including oral health. One of the lesser-known, but incredibly important procedures we offer at 1101 Dental is the infant frenectomy.

 At 1101 Dental, we’re committed to protecting not just your smile but your overall health. One of the most overlooked yet serious dental issues is an abscessed tooth. Many people don’t even realize they have one because abscessed teeth can be completely silent—meaning they cause little to no pain. However, that doesn’t mean they aren’t dangerous.

​Abscessed teeth are not just a dental problem; they are a whole-body health concern. The bacteria from an abscessed or dead tooth can spread beyond the mouth, entering the bloodstream and affecting vital organs like the heart and brain. That’s why identifying and treating abscessed teeth early is critical. At 1101 Dental, we use advanced 3D X-ray technology to screen for these hidden infections before they lead to serious complications.
