Q&A With Laura Clark

Excel Dental 

1701 W. James River Rd., Ozark; 417-581-3600  

It’s no coincidence that Excel Dental’s tagline is “smile healthy.” If individuals have been around their office in the last few years, they most likely have heard about how a healthy smile helps to keep their overall body healthier. But the clinic is just beginning its quest for healthier smiles and healthier patients. New research, new technology and a new passion for health are why their office is pushing forward with increased health focus. Of course, they love beautiful smiles, but there’s so much they can do to help individuals improve their health. Imagine a world where saliva can be analyzed for bacteria, yeast and viruses. That world is today! But it’s not just testing for it; it’s knowing what to do, when to do it and how to follow up when individuals get the results. The community will be hearing a whole lot more about this from the clinic in the coming years as they constantly improve their office for the benefit of their patients’ health. Guests are encouraged to come in to check them out and see how they can start making improvements in their health to be their BEST SELF!

Q&A with Dr. Tracy Davis
