Why is oral Health Important?


Posted on 10/10/2022 by Thomas Mahar
Why is oral Health Important?Maintaining good oral health is essential as it helps to minimize the risks of certain conditions such as gum diseases, lousy breath, and tooth cavities. Having excellent oral hygiene and eating healthy foods is the best to ensure you are in control. Brushing your teeth at least twice a day, flossing, and having regular dental exams are crucial for oral health.

Prevents Gum Diseases and Tooth Decay


Brushing and flossing your teeth is one way to prevent some notorious dental issues such as gum diseases and tooth decay. Proper oral hygiene prevents the build-up of bacteria and plaque on your teeth. Routine care minimizes the incidence of gum diseases that can cause bleeding of gums and, in severe cases, loss of teeth. Cleaning your teeth regularly will ensure that your mouth is healthy.

Contributes to Your Overall Health


Your mouth facilitates the entry of bacteria into other systems, such as the respiratory, digestive, and cardiovascular systems. Poor oral hygiene encourages bacteria in the mouth to spread to other systems. Cleaning your teeth ensures that bacteria are in control, minimizing oral infections and ensuring your general health is good.

Prevents a Bad Breath


Halitosis, also known as bad breath, can be frustrating in some circumstances and even lower your self-esteem. A good hygiene routine helps eliminate any food particles that can lodge in your teeth, causing bad breath. Oral care helps to eliminate all risk factors that may cause bad breath.

Prevents Oral Cancer


Individuals with a history of poor oral health are often susceptible to oral cancers. Great oral habits and dental exams help minimize any possibility of cancer development. The expert can perform routine checkups during a dental exam and identify any early symptoms. Preventive care is the best to safeguard your oral and general health.
