You’re One Smart Cookie!
First things first: Cascade Endodontics wants to applaud you. If you’ve searched or stumbled upon this blog, that means you’re doing the due diligence needed to take care of a dental issue. Whether you’re experiencing tooth pain that makes it hard to eat those sugary treats you love, or if you’ve injured a tooth and are looking for expert treatment in the Orem area, we thank you for taking your dental health into your own hands.
Dental Health and Overall Health: What You Should Know
It’s easy to think that tooth troubles stay in your mouth. The truth is, though, that oral disease can lead to sickness in other parts of the body, too. The latest studies have been showing a strong link between gum disease and cardiovascular disease. That means someone who doesn’t take care of their gums is at a higher risk of heart attacks, heart failure, and chest pain.
Where’s Your Happy Place?
At Cascade Endodontics, we make it our business not only to provide our Orem and Provo patients with the expert dental care they need, but to help them feel comfortable in the process. Most of our patients are pleasantly surprised at how little pain they experience getting endodontic treatment from Dr. Jon Jenson.

Here’s a quick list of foods to avoid and those to include in your diet, for the health of your good old teeth.
