Oral health has a much greater impact on our overall health than most people realize. If you don’t already know, here’s some facts that may be surprising and motivating to help you improve your oral healthcare of tooth brushing, flossing, using mouthwash, and of course regular dental visits.
To begin, poor oral health can mean more likelihood of chronic diseases, dental caries (cavities), oral cancer, and other disabilities. Common diseases such as periodontal (gum) disease, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke are caused from poor oral health. In pregnant women, these diseases can cause premature births, low birth weight, and other health problems for the baby.
While this may scare many into coming to the dentist, more than 1/2 of the U.S. population hasn’t had a dental visit in the past year. We can help.
