Oral health and hygiene play a critical role in your overall health. And taking good care of your teeth and gums, with regular trips to the dentist is worth it. Here are just a few reasons why. During an oral examination, here is what your dentist can detect:
- symptoms of acid reflux
- signs of osteoporosis in women
- signs of oral cancer
- signs of eating disorders
- signs of stress
Here are some helpful hints for healthy teeth.
And here is why YOU should be conscious about maintaining oral health because a healthy mouth means a healthy body
- Anxiety disorders contribute to oral problems. If you are stressed, it shows in your teeth.
- There’s a connection between asthma and oral health
- Good dental care helps patients with Alzheimer’s improve quality of life. Preventing gum disease can help avoid Alzheimer’s
- Diabetics must specially take care as they are more prone to oral infections
- Some medications cause side effects that affect your teeth
- Heart disease is linked to oral health
- If you’re a smoker, kick the butt, because it weakens your teeth and makes them fall off

A good diet combined with proper oral hygiene can keep you healthy.
