A healthy mouth helps maintain a healthy body. Because the mouth is a pathway to the body, very good evidence strongly supports the link between periodontal (gum) disease and heart disease. It is suspected that the cause of this link is the bacteria present in gum disease, which break loose and circulate throughout the body. Just as smoking, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol are risk factors for heart disease, periodontal disease is an additional potential risk factor.
Pregnant women can be affected by periodontitis, a form of gum disease. Important research has shown a link between periodontitis and pregnant women whose babies are born too early or at a low birth weight. Chemicals and byproducts from the bodys effort to fight the infection of periodontitis can travel through the body and cause premature labor. Visit the dentist during pregnancy for a dental examination and cleaning.
Its not just a cleaning; its a lifesaver! Currently, almost one-half of Americans dont visit the dentist regularly. Routine examinations and cleanings are an important part of maintaining a healthy mouth, as well as daily brushing and flossing and a healthy diet.

I recently had my teeth cleaned by Brittney. Highly qualified young lady who knew her stuff. She completed extensive measurements and recorded data concerning my gums. If you are looking for a new dentist I highly recommend this practice owned by the very qualified Dr. Raja.

Dr. Rajah and his staff are amazing! Not only professional and well trained, but friendly and compassionate. Appointments are easy to schedule. Their facility looks like a luxury home and has all the modern, up to date equipment. I am currently undergoing total mouth reconstruction with all new crowns. The staff are very understanding and listen to my concerns and make the necessary adjustments, at no additional cost (above the initial treatment plan price).

It was so nice to have a HONEST dentist that told me I didn't need work done that I was previously told I did. I really appreciate that. Alex was also a sweetheart. Thank you both for such a AWESOME experience.

Love this place! I have been coming here since moving back to MD a few years ago, and hands down the best dental clinic in the area. Kinsley and Chloe are my fav's. Each taking their time and not rushing, encouraging and knowledgeable of their field, both kind and personable. They remember my life events and really take the time to connect with you. Dr. Raja is great too - also very friendly and personable and super knowledgeable. If you have a slight fear of the dentist, like I do, they do so much to make you feel comfortable and at home. You will not be disappointed!
