Why Dental Health Is Important For Holistic Wellness

Trusted Health Products

Written By Victoria Smith / Reviewed By Ray Spotts

Taking a holistic approach to your health is wise since you are caring for every part of you and our entire body works together. Holistic care should include your mouth since your dental health can have a profound effect on your overall wellbeing. In fact, ignoring your dental health can put you at risk for a variety of problems, but simple steps can keep you well.

Reduces Inflammation

Taking care of your teeth is about more than the look of your smile or the smell of your breath. Proper dental care and regular visits to your dentist for cleanings can actually help reduce inflammation in the rest of your body. People who have gum disease, which means their gums are inflamed, are more likely to suffer from diabetes and heart disease.

Make sure you brush, floss, and go in for regular checkups to reduce inflammation around your gums. If your gums bleed or are sore after you brush or floss, contact your dentist so you can get treatment. Ignoring your gums can be detrimental to your overall health.

Decreases Germ Issues

germs lurking between your teeth due to plaque can cause bad germs to get a stronghold in your body. An imbalance in your body's good and bad germs can cause a plethora of problems that go far beyond your mouth. That's why taking care of your teeth is so important. You can get that bad germs out of your mouth before it has time to travel further into your body and cause other health problems.

For some people, it's hard to get at plaque from in between their teeth. If your teeth are crooked or overlapping, it's easy for germs to hide where you can't reach them. That's why looking for an Invisalign dentist could help you out with your health and adjusting your teeth for proper alignment.

Straightening your teeth with this non-invasive procedure means you will be able to take care of your mouth better. You can remove the germs with floss easily if you have the proper amount of room between your teeth. You can get a great smile while also helping your body stay well by getting Invisalign.

Encourages a Good Diet

If you want to take care of your teeth, eat a balanced diet that benefits your mouth. Fruits, vegetables, and fish are all great for your gums and teeth, and they also happen to be great for the rest of you. Focusing on eating food that is good for your mouth will positively impact your overall health and can help you avoid certain health issues.

It's also important to drink plenty of water. Water helps wash away food that could otherwise hang out in your mouth and cause a build-up that leads to cavities or gum problems. Since our bodies are made up of so much water, drinking it is a win for your entire system. You won't be as likely to get dehydrated, and choosing water over sugary drinks will keep your mouth and your body well.

Encourages Mindful Care

It's best not to snack all day unless you plan on carrying a toothbrush and floss to care for your teeth after each snack. This is the best way to get leftover food out of your teeth before it can sit long enough to cause problems. You either need to plan your snacks or avoid them altogether.

This approach can lead to mindful eating, something that is good for your body, teeth, and spirit. Mindful eating simply means you eat using all your senses without being in a hurry. Sit down for each meal and be aware of each bite you put in your mouth.

Though snacking is not always a bad thing, mindful eating will keep you aware of how often you snack and what foods you grab between meals. If you have to plan to brush after every snack, you are less likely to mindlessly grab handfuls of food, and this benefits your entire body.

Your mouth is the gateway to the rest of your body, so don't underestimate its importance when it comes to your whole health. Taking care of your teeth and gums is a great way to care for all of you.
