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 yearly 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 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 long-term 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; it is one of the most significant risk factors in
developing gum disease.
• Replace your toothbrush every three months.
