KEEP YOUR TEETH & GUMS HEALTHY
A big smile can say a lot about your overall health , so if you ’ ve been skipping out on the dentist , you may want to schedule your visit . A semiannual or annual dental visit protects against poor oral health that can lead to greater problems down the road . Good oral hygiene , including brushing at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and flossing , can protect against the damaging effects of gum disease .
Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease that is due to plaque and tartar buildup on teeth , leaving gums red , swollen , and irritated . When left untreated , gingivitis can advance to periodontitis . A more serious and painful disease , periodontitis causes gums to pull away from teeth , allowing bacteria to build in the pockets between . Due to the infection and inflammation , your body ’ s natural reaction is to fight the bacteria , which can lead to a breakdown of the bones and tissue around your teeth .
Studies also suggest that poor oral health is related to systemic diseases including diabetes , oral cancer , stroke , and heart disease . Routine visits to your dentist can identify oral problems before they become painful and more serious .
So how can you protect your pearly whites against longterm health concerns ?
• Schedule routine checkups with your dental professional .
• Brush your teeth twice a day .
• Floss daily ( you may not see immediate benefits , but you ’ ll be saving your gum health in the long run ).
• Eat a balanced diet to get the proper nutrients your teeth and gums need to stay strong .
• Drink lots of water !
• Quit smoking / vaping — it is a significant risk factor for developing gum disease .
• Replace your toothbrush every three months .
