HEALTHY MOUTH HEALTHY YOU!
Your mouth plays an integral role in keeping you healthy.
Much research has been done regarding the health of the mouth and how it relates to the overall health of your body.
Numerous studies outline the relationship between gum disease and heart disease and why it's essential to maintain a healthy and clean dentition. Far too often, dental health is given a backseat to overall health. However, dental problems can lead to more significant issues if not promptly addressed.
Cavities turn into larger cavities that turn into teeth that need root canals that, if not treated, turn into abscessed teeth that can land you in the hospital with a swollen face and a world of problems.
Taking care of your teeth should be a top priority. However, we sometimes treat the mouth like it's not a part of the body.
A healthy dentition means a healthier you. Scheduling regular visits with your dentist will prevent major dental problems, and when issues arise, you should make every effort to see the dentist as soon as possible.
