Dental Medical Integration For Overall Health

Your Partner In Oral And Whole-Body Wellness

Your mouth is the gateway to your body. That’s why at Harmony, we go beyond dental cleanings and fillings—we integrate medical screenings into exam visits to support your whole-body health.

During your routine dental checkups, our team may perform:

• Blood pressure monitoring
  
  
• Prediabetes (A1C) screening
  
  
• Oral cancer screening
  
  
• Mental health and lifestyle risk assessments
  
  

These screenings help identify early signs of chronic conditions that may otherwise go unnoticed—like hypertension, diabetes, or oral cancer. Because oral and systemic health are closely linked, catching issues early can make a meaningful difference in both your dental and overall wellness.

By understanding the connection between oral health and whole-body health, you can take more control of your care—and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Harmony Integrates Medical Screening Into Our Practice

We don’t just offer traditional dental services. We provide medical screening during your routine six-month checkups. This gives us a broader view of your health and equips our team to deliver even better care for your teeth, gums, and beyond.

Thanks to our seamless integration with Epic and MyChart, the results of your tests can be easily accessed by your full care team—including your primary care physician—ensuring a more coordinated and informed approach to your health.

Oral cancer detection

Oral cancer can go undetected in its early stages by many healthcare providers. At Harmony, we perform oral cancer screenings during every six-month checkup. Your dentist will carefully examine your mouth for lesions, abnormalities, or signs of cancer. If we detect anything unusual, we’ll refer you to a specialist for further evaluation.

Blood pressure monitoring

Both high and low blood pressure can be signs of broader health concerns. At Harmony, we check your blood pressure at exam visits. These readings offer insight into your cardiovascular health and are automatically shared through Epic with your other medical providers for comprehensive care coordination.

A1C testing

Your A1C level reflects how your body processes sugar over time and is a key indicator of prediabetes or diabetes. Whether you’re already managing diabetes or want to track your risk, A1C monitoring at Harmony helps you stay informed and proactive.

Mental health screenings

Mental wellness is an essential part of your overall health. At Harmony, we offer a simple screening for anxiety and depression as part of your dental visit. While we don’t diagnose mental health conditions, this screening can help identify if further support may be needed. If results indicate concern, we’ll provide guidance and referrals to help you take the next step.

Sleep screening
Sleep disorders—especially sleep apnea—can significantly affect your daily functioning and long-term health. At Harmony, we screen for common signs of sleep-disordered breathing during routine visits. If we suspect a sleep-related condition, we’ll guide you through next steps, including referrals for diagnostic testing or sleep studies.

Smoking cessation counseling
Tobacco use is one of the most significant risk factors for gum disease, oral cancer, and other chronic conditions. At Harmony, we offer smoking cessation support to help you quit for good. Whether you're just thinking about quitting or ready to take action, our team can provide guidance, resources, and referrals tailored to your needs.
