At DMD Dental in North Scottsdale, dental exams are about much more than checking for cavities. Under the expert care of Dr. Erika Du Mond, each exam offers a deep, biological and functional look at how your oral health is impacting your overall wellness. With advanced training in integrative and laser dentistry, Dr. Du Mond takes a whole-body approach—because the health of your mouth plays a vital role in the health of your entire body.
A Thoughtful, Comprehensive Approach
Your dental exam begins with a gentle yet thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues. Using digital X-rays and advanced imaging when needed, Dr. Du Mond examines not just your smile, but the underlying biological structures and functional systems—including your bone health, airway, bite alignment, and early signs of decay or infection.
What truly sets this practice apart is the time and attention devoted to understanding you, not just your teeth. Dr. Du Mond reviews your medical history, lifestyle, and even stress levels to uncover how these factors may affect both your oral and systemic health. Every recommendation is personalized, preventive, and designed to support your long-term well-being.
Connecting Oral Health to Whole-Body Health
Scientific research has shown strong links between oral conditions and chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and even cognitive decline. Dr. Du Mond pays special attention to signs of inflammation and infection in the mouth, recognizing these as important biological indicators that may reflect or contribute to broader health concerns.
During your visit, discussions may also include airway health, jaw function, nutrition, and habits like clenching or mouth breathing—all of which can impact the harmony of your body. When appropriate, Dr. Du Mond may recommend advanced screenings or regenerative therapies to support both oral and systemic healing, such as platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), laser therapy, or customized home-care strategies.
