How Healthy Are You?
Your body might be in top physical condition but your mouth health may be in disarray. Dental health is important to your overall health. Oral disease can cause pain, infection, and tooth loss. Some oral conditions are associated with systemic illnesses, but this does not prove that poor oral health directly causes heart disease or cancer. Getting your teeth cleaned regularly is your first defense in protecting your oral health. It also gives your dentist the opportunity to treat any issue early on - before it turns more serious.
Follow these tips, to keep your mouth healthy:
Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
Flossing is important to your oral health and you should floss at least once a day.
Avoid staining food and beverages like coffee and tea.
Avoid sugary drinks, which cause plaque to grow leading to decay.
Schedule checkups and cleanings at the intervals recommended for your individual needs.
Keeping your teeth and gums healthy and disease free will save you pain, time, money, while ensuring you're doing everything you can for optimal overall health. Schedule your cleaning today!
