Caring for your teeth and gums is important; not just for your smile but for your overall health as well! Gingivitis and other dental diseases have been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and strokes. In addition to brushing twice a day and flossing every day, it’s also important to visit your general dentist every 6 months for a dental cleaning and a checkup.
Below are a few important reasons why you should stay on top of your dental cleanings and checkups:
Because of the research tying oral health in with physical health and heart problems, it’s more important than ever to focus more on your dental health. In addition to at-home oral hygiene habits, regular dental cleanings will help keep your gums and teeth healthy, which will keep the rest of you healthy as well! If you’re due for a cleaning and a checkup, give your general dentist a call!
