There are many connections between dental health and overall health. The correlation stems mainly from the effect of periodontal (gum) disease and the effects that dental diseases have on the rest of the body. Usually, these diseases can be easily prevented with proper brushing, daily flossing and by getting regular check-ups by a Florida-licensed dentist.

Good oral health habits and preventive dental care lead to healthy smiles, and a healthy body. Under the direction of Gov. Charlie Crist, State Surgeon General Dr. Ana M. Viamonte Ros and the Agency for Health Care Administration, the State of Florida has renewed its commitment to providing quality dental services for Floridians seeking health care from the State’s dental programs.
