Freshen up! Like a Well-tended Garden, a Healthy Smile Takes Maintenance.
3 Steps to Reinvigorating Your Smile:
1. Make Time for Your Health
We understand that day-to-day life can be hectic! Between the busyness of life, it's tough to make time to care for yourself and your health. At our office we want to make sure you are getting the care and comfort you need! Your regular dental check-up is a key to cultivating a healthy body, mind and spirit.
2. Know the Facts (It's Not Just a Cleaning)
While they may seem like a chore, regular dental check-ups are very important to your overall health. Some diseases and medical conditions have warning signs that can appear in the mouth, such as:
Diabetes
Oral cancer
Nutritional and vitamin deficiencies
Hormonal irregularities
Consistent dental visits can also help to detect periodontal (gum) disease. If you haven't visited us in a while, it's possible that you've developed gum disease without even knowing it because it doesn't always hurt. Besides affecting the tissues and bones that support teeth, research suggests that there may be a link between periodontal diseases and other health conditions like:
Cardiovascular disease
Stroke
Bacterial pneumonia
Increased risk during pregnancy
3. Get on the Case, Sherlock!
Regular dental check-ups can help to detect changes in your mouth before they become problems. Consistent dental visits are the key to detecting tooth decay and gum disease early. Not only will this save your teeth, but it will save time and money too!
Proactive dental patients are more likely to maintain healthy teeth and body!
If you are up-to-date with your preventive care appointments keep up the good work! If you are not, please call today for an appointment.
Yours in dental health,
