Thirty million Americans, who have diabetes, know the damaging impact the disease can have on nerves, eyes, kidneys, heart and other organs. Diabetes can also impact dental health.

Oral health is connected to overall health, ranging from diabetes, heart disease and even cancer. Periodontal disease (gum disease) is by far the most widespread disease in the world and more ubiquitous than the common cold. Dr. Workman provides a periodontal therapy that can be easily followed and helps to get rid of this sly, cunning infection.

Although snoring seems physically harmless, it may be a red flag for a much more serious and sometimes fatal condition called Obstructive Sleep Apnea. This happens when the air passage deflates, blocking airflow into the lungs.

The last thing a person with a career and professional obligations looking to get their teeth straightened wants to think about is wearing metal braces for the next couple of years. Dr. John Workman of Dental Artistry in Glen Ellyn, IL offers Invisalign for straightening teeth, a treatment plan with invisible aligner trays that are changed every two weeks.

It is not completely unheard of for people to hide their smiles simply due to lack of time or fear of dental visits. With the development of new and safe sedation techniques, Dr. John Workman of Dental Artistry is able to perform dental treatments with oral conscious sedation or I.V. sedation. An in-house anesthesiologist handles the anesthesia and monitors the patient's vital signs, allowing Dr. Workman to focus on providing quick, safe, and stress-free treatment.

Many cosmetic dentistry patients grapple with the anxiety of not knowing the exact outcome of their procedures until they are completed.

Dr. John Workman has been invited by The Dental Library national organization to launch and take the helm as a contributing author for GlenEllynWheatonDentalLibrary.com. Dr. Workman is actively involved in the community of Glen Ellyn, IL.
