Plano Dentistry

General Dentistry Plano Hi, I’m Dr. Isabella Mejia, DDS. Most every day, I can be found at my Plano area cosmetic dental office treating patients with tooth and gum problems or helping patients prevent them. There are many common medical conditions that pose a risk to oral health.

1) Plano diabetes patients with high blood glucose often have a higher risk of dental health issues. If you have diabetes, let’s talk. My number is (972) 468-8279.

2) A persistent dry mouth due to an inadequate amount of saliva can accelerate tooth decay, cause or contribute to gum disease, and trigger chronic bad breath. Many medications used by thousands of Allen TX and Plano area folks, including those for high-blood pressure and depression, cause dry mouth. This side effect is not only unpleasant, it is dangerous. Anti-depressants (especially SSRI’s) and anti-psychotic drugs can also trigger tooth-grinding (bruxism).

3) Acid reflux in children and adults is associated with a host of dental problems such as decay and gum disease.

I help many dental patients in Allen TX prevent problems associated with medical conditions that sometimes seem unrelated to dental health. Regular professional family dentistry is essential for oral health, and an important part of your overall physical health.
