Why Good Oral Care is Crucial for Your Health
Many people are aware that maintaining proper oral hygiene is essential for fresh breath and a bright smile. However, the impact of oral health extends far beyond the mouth, significantly influencing overall health and wellbeing. The connection between oral health, particularly gum disease, and systemic health conditions is surprising and underscores the importance of diligent dental care.
Mouth and Body — There is a Connection
A dental appointment should be full of patient education, and it should entail information not only on the current status of your oral health, but how to improve upon it and prevent future problems from arising. A pertinent part of patient education should be how important oral health is when it comes to your overall health.
Heart Health Month
Heart health month is here, and we take our role in fighting this disease very seriously. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among men and women in the United States; therefore, it is crucial to understand how this could be impacted by your oral health. There has been a lot of news in the past few years about the oral systemic link, and our goal is to educate patients, so there is increased knowledge, resulting in prevention.
