Starting 2019 fresh and clean? Clean eating and dedicating yourself to an exercise program aren’t all you can do to improve your health. While your busy clearing out your closets and finding “What gives you joy”, don’t forget to schedule a teeth cleaning with your Dentist! It’s so important and so often overlooked.
Having all that build up can do much more than give you bad breath! Your mouth has natural bacteria and yeast that live in there and help you digest food. However, once they are done with their job, they give off a waste product and die. Without a professional cleaning, they build up on your teeth. Your gums can become red, swollen, and bleed. This isn’t good!
Left there too long, the destructive properties of all this build up can cause the bone surrounding your teeth to recede. Too much recession and the teeth can become loose and need to be removed!
Most importantly, the long term build up of dead bacteria and their waste products can lead to gum infection. The inflammation from this infection, no matter how small, spreads throughout the body via the bloodstream. And this can lead to BIG problems such as heart disease. For diabetics it’s even worse. Constant inflammation will make it extremely difficult to control your blood sugar levels.
So you see, there are many reasons to keep your mouth as clean and healthy as the rest of you!
