Trusted Health Products

Written By Brooke Chaplan / Reviewed By Ray Spotts

Did you know that around half of the world's population deals with an oral-related health condition? If you’re one of the people currently experiencing oral health complications, this is a sign you need to put more effort into your oral care routine. Simple efforts include creating a better oral regimen or increasing your preventative dental care visits.

When you neglect your oral health, you also become vulnerable to a myriad of other health conditions. Here’s how regular oral care benefits your entire body.

Minimize Your Risk of Developing Diseases.

Your mouth has millions of bacteria. While some of them are healthy, others can be harmful when they reach other parts of your body. For instance, endocarditis is the result of oral bacteria reaching your heart chambers through your bloodstream. Cardiovascular diseases also share a possible connection to poor oral hygiene.

If you’re currently pregnant, an oral condition like periodontitis can make your unborn child vulnerable to premature birth. It’s also more likely they’ll be born underweight. By getting regular dental care, you drastically reduce your chances of developing these conditions. Your dentist can also teach you how to properly care for your teeth between visits.

Maintain Good Oral Hygiene

Don’t let the potential side effects of poor hygiene intimidate you. There are simple changes you can make that improve your oral health before it’s too late. For instance, brushing your teeth at least twice a day will loosen debris and plaque that causes cavities. Don’t forget to also brush your tongue and floss.

Eating a healthy diet also helps your teeth and body flourish. Avoid acidic and sugary foods that lead to enamel erosion as well as a larger number of bacteria. When you do consume acidic foods, drink water to neutralize the lingering acid.

If you smoke cigarettes, it’s a great idea to quit. Cigarettes prohibit proper blood flow in your gums, which makes it difficult for them to heal from the infection. In addition, cigarettes can cause lung complications such as lung cancer.

Seek Professional Help

While regular hygiene can help your teeth remain in excellent condition, it is typically a good idea to visit a professional that offers preventative dental care. Dentists have access to quality tools that allow them to examine your mouth thoroughly. By looking inside your mouth, they may be able to identify underlying health conditions that you may not have been aware of.

Poor oral health is a major cause for concern, especially if you currently have underlying health conditions. To prevent and help ease existing symptoms, you must keep up with your oral hygiene.

Also, don’t wait until you have an oral issue to visit your dentist. Preventative care not only maintains healthy teeth and gums, but it also gives your dentist an opportunity to solve any existing issues. Both your mouth and the rest of your body will thank you.
