Healthy Teeth, Better You in Miami

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

Many people easily take their oral health for granted. Most brush their teeth daily and go about life without care. However, people should know that your oral health and bodily health are connected. Studies since the late eighties and early nineties discovered that the bacteria found in the mouth (there are 300 species of bacteria in dental plaque) induce clotting. If an oral bacterial infection enters the bloodstream, it can cause blood clots, which can lead to stroke and heart attack. Caring for your teeth and gums with good oral hygiene and regular dental check ups can help prevent infection and disease.

How Poor Dental Care Effects You

When a person neglects their teeth and gums, they can negatively effect and influence their life in numerous ways. Once you have a dental infection (cavities, gum disease, etc.) you begin to experience bad breath, mouth/tooth/jaw pain, tooth loss, further disease, and illness. The pain you feel can make you grumpy, angry, or irritable, which can cause you to experience negative social interactions and harm relationships. The physical appearance of infected teeth and bad breath can cause you to shy away from social events and prompt you to withdraw from close contact with others. By caring for your teeth and gums, you have healthy teeth. This equals healthy teeth and a better you.
