Why Is Dental Hygiene Important?

Dental hygiene plays a vital role in preserving not only your oral health but also your overall health as well. Efficient dental hygiene practices control harmful bacteria and prevent oral health concerns. In addition, they help stop the spread of infection to other parts of the body. Hence, it is essential to brush twice a day, floss once a day, and visit your dentist at least once every six months.

Benefits of Dental Hygiene

Prevents Cavities & Gum Disease

Good oral hygiene will ensure the prevention of decay and gum disease. Brushing correctly twice a day and flossing once can help avert these common dental problems. Gingivitis, the inflammation of the gums and the first stage of gum disease, is caused by the plaque accumulation around your teeth. It can cause swollen and bleeding gums when you brush.

Gives a Bright Smile

Whitening treatments can help, but brushing regularly with a tooth-whitening fluoride toothpaste can help remove the stains or discoloration on your teeth. There are mild abrasives in toothpaste that remove surface stains and debris and help to keep your teeth looking fresh, healthy, and white.

Prevent Chronic Diseases

Proper oral hygiene leads to better overall health and will help you avoid chronic ailments like diabetes, heart disease, or dementia. Research has shown that the bacteria that cause gum disease are also found in patients with heart disease. If the gums are infected with bacteria, it can travel into your bloodstream and increase your chances of heart attack or stroke. Gum disorders can make it more difficult to control your blood sugar levels. Poor oral health can also increase your risk of developing Alzheimer's.

Stops Bad Breath

Bad breath is caused by oral bacteria that eventually transform into plaque. Brushing and regular cleanings will remove plaque and prevent the formation of tartar on your teeth. It is an economical and effective method to remove bacteria and food debris and keep your breath smelling fresh.

Less Medical Costs

Taking care of your oral health can save you thousands in medical care costs over your lifetime. The cost of some toothpaste tubes, floss, and regular dental exams is an insignificant price to pay for overall health and well-being.
