Normally the bodys natural defenses and good oral health care, such as daily brushing and flossing, keep bacteria under control. However, without proper oral hygiene, bacteria can reach levels that might lead to oral infections, such as tooth decay and gum disease.
Also, certain medications such as decongestants, antihistamines, painkillers, diuretics and antidepressants can reduce saliva flow. Saliva washes away food and neutralizes acids produced by bacteria in the mouth, helping to protect you from microbes that multiply and lead to disease.
Studies suggest that oral bacteria and the inflammation associated with a severe form of gum disease (periodontitis) might play a role in some diseases. And certain diseases, such as diabetes and HIV/AIDS, can lower the bodys resistance to infection, making oral health problems more severe.

I have an eight year old that was very anxious about dental cleanings - until we started going to Belltown Dental. Between Dr. Danziger and the very caring hygienist, the care that my daughter has received has completely alleviated her anxiety and my stresses for dental visits! The office is very clean and office staff is so very helpful. Billing has always been a breeze as well. I would certainly recommend Dr. Danziger and the Belltown Dental staff for anyone in the area!

Great, small dental office with flexible hours and wonderful staff! Jenny and Tammy in the front are very friendly and Jessica the dental hygienist was very gentle and funny. Even though I only see Dr. Danziger for a very short time, he is very nice. I will be bringing my kids there soon too. Fantastic office, highly recommend

Beautiful and well done dentistry, gentle hands and a kind demeanor/chairside manner. In a world and town of barely average dentistry, his work stands out. He is not sales pitchy, does not self promote and does not build the sale. He is honest, has very good clinical skills and good hands. Full disclosure; I was his wife and part of the office staff in the past. I thought he was good when I was there, now after working in offices throughout the state, I know he was and is Very Good in his field.

Awesome place. Clean, cosey environment. Saw Jessica for a cleaning, she was very friendly and explained everything thoroughly. Any questions I had she answered with professionalism and she was very knowledgeable. Took care of everything and made the follow up easy. Going back in 6 months!
