Why Your Dentist is a Key Player in Your Overall Health

When it comes to maintaining exceptional oral health, your dentist is obviously a big part of doing so. Most people know that seeing your dentist twice a year for your cleaning and exam is non-negotiable for a healthy mouth, along with proper brushing and flossing daily.

However, did you know that your dentist can play a role in maintaining optimum overall wellness? Read on to learn more.

Put your health first

It’s true…your oral health is a window to your wellness and health overall. And studies continuously indicate such.

Your oral health can clue you in to other issue that may be happening in the body. Further, mouth issues can actually cause other health issues to arise.

The mouth is filled with bacteria. Though mostly harmless, it is the point of entry to your respiratory and digestive tracks. And if bacteria are robust, it can be a culprit for disease to begin.

Issues that can be linked to poor oral health include:

-Cardiovascular disease
-Diabetes
-Pneumonia
-Endocarditis
-Osteoporosis
-Alzheimer’s
-Arthritis
-Immune disorders

Your best defense when it comes to protecting your oral health is brushing twice daily and flossing at least once a day. Also, your dental exam and cleanings twice annually should be top priority. Also, be sure to tell Dr. Milan about any medications you may take, as some can have an effect on oral health.
