How Does Poor Dental Hygiene Impact Health?

Your oral health directly impacts your overall well-being. Neglecting proper dental care can lead to severe complications:

  • Heart Disease & Stroke: Gum disease, stemming from plaque buildup and oral bacteria, increases the risk of heart issues and narrowed arteries.
  • Respiratory Issues: Oral bacterial infections can spread to the bloodstream, potentially reaching the lungs and raising the likelihood of bronchitis or pneumonia.
  • Cancer Risk: Gum disease is associated with higher kidney, pancreas, and blood cancer development chances.

Fluoride Treatment

Fluoride effectively prevents tooth decay and is naturally present in many foods and water sources. Its benefits, endorsed by numerous health organizations, have been acknowledged for over 50 years.

Home Care

Our aim: a lasting, healthy smile. Prioritize home care—eat balanced, limit snacks, and use dental aids to control plaque and bacteria for better oral health.

How to Properly Brush & Floss

Regular brushing and flossing are essential for oral hygiene. Professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and debris, while at-home care is crucial for maintaining mouth health, enhancing your smile, and preventing disease.

Oral Cancer Exam

Each year, 30,000+ oral cancer cases are diagnosed, leading to 7,000+ deaths. Early detection through regular exams significantly improves treatment outcomes.

Oral Hygiene Aids

Regular dental check-ups are vital for preserving optimal oral health and identifying potential issues early on. However, they’re just one part of the equation. Consistent oral hygiene habits at home are equally crucial in preventing future dental issues.

Sealants

Sealants, thin plastic coatings applied to molars, premolars, and deep grooves, prevent dental decay by forming a smooth, easy-to-clean surface.
