Your Oral Health is Important to Us at Smile Savers Dentistry
When we think about our health, we usually worry about our weight, our heart, or our blood pressure. Very few people realize that oral health plays into our overall physical health. Oral health is not just about taking care of bad breath or yellow teeth. Cavities, tooth loss and gum disease are inevitable complications caused by poor oral hygiene. And gum disease has been linked to heart disease and diabetes, among other health complications.
Good dental hygiene for oral health really begins at home. We can’t say this enough … brush and floss your teeth twice, daily. Use an antibacterial mouth rinse for an even cleaner mouth. Focus on a diet rich in fiber, and avoid foods and activities (like smoking) that speed up the wear-and-tear of your teeth. Oral hygiene should be thought of as being just as important as taking regular showers and eating balanced meals.
And it should go without saying that regular cleanings and exams at Smile Savers Dentistry, with one of the friendly dental hygienists, should be made an essential part of your dental health regimen. If you are overdue for your exam and cleaning or have other dental issues that you would like to have addressed, contact our office at 410-730-6460.
