Not Just a Cleaning
People with gum disease are up to 57% more likely to suffer from heart problems, according to a study at the University of Pittsburgh. In fact, our teeth and gums are an important gateway to our entire bodies. Our mouths naturally harbor many types of bacteria. In a healthy mouth, they coexist and play an important part in our digestive and immune systems. In an unhealthy mouth with gum disease, this balance is destroyed and the more harmful bacteria dominate. Daily brushing, flossing, eating healthy foods and getting regular cleanings and checkups help to defend you overall well-being. |
