| Oral Hygeine |
| |
 Oral hygiene is all about preventing gum disease, which is the most prevalent disease in our society and the most common cause of tooth loss in adults.
Studies show that patients with severe cases of gum disease are twice as likely to have fatal hearts attacks as patients with healthy teeth and gums.
And now there's more news that healthy teeth and gums are more important to your overall health than ever!
Research shows that the most common strain of bacteria found in plaque may cause blood clots which, in turn, can induce heart attacks.
It is also thought that bacteria in plaque could give rise to lung infections, a weakened immune system, and a higher risk of premature birth.
This shows the importance that dental health plays in overall health. If you take the time to have your teeth cleaned regularly and floss daily, diseases linked to dental bacteria can be reduced.
Good oral hygiene really pays off.
