Family
Dentistry at Stephen J Pyle, DDS serves as the first line of defense and
detection for serious health problems like gum disease and oral cancer. A dental
exam typically includes periodic x-rays where these problems can be spotted and
appropriate action taken. Serious gum disease can contribute to heart disease
and stroke making the dental exam even that much more important to a family
member's overall health.
