Rheumatology Services for Patients with Rheumatic Conditions
At Dante Colosimo, DDS, we understand the unique oral health needs of patients with rheumatic conditions. Our dedicated team of dental professionals specializes in providing high-quality dental care for individuals with rheumatic diseases, helping to alleviate oral health issues and improve overall well-being.
Understanding Rheumatology
Rheumatology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the musculoskeletal system, including joints, muscles, and bones. Common rheumatic conditions may include rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriatic arthritis, and osteoarthritis.
The Connection between Oral Health and Rheumatic Conditions
Research has shown that there is a strong relationship between oral health and rheumatic conditions. Patients with rheumatic diseases often experience oral symptoms such as dry mouth, gum disease, jaw pain, and temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Additionally, certain medications used to treat rheumatic conditions may have side effects that impact oral health.
At Dante Colosimo, DDS, our rheumatology-focused dental services aim to address these specific oral health challenges. Our experienced team works closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that cater to their unique needs and conditions.
