Good Dental Hygiene Can Save Your Teeth and Your Life
added on: September 13, 2013
Check out our newest YouTube video on dental hygiene. Research today shows that your dental hygiene habits can help save your teeth and save your life. When you do not brush and floss daily, bacteria find a home in shallow spaces between teeth and gum tissue. This causes inflammation and bleeding, leading to periodontal disease. As this disease progresses, the bacteria and their by-products spread throughout the body via the bloodstream and can have adverse effects on the rest of your body. These include heart attack, stroke, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and difficulty dealing with diabetic glycemic control. This video talks about how you can take care of your teeth and gums by proper brushing and flossing — helping to keep your teeth for a lifetime and avoid periodontal disease and its potential adverse outcomes.
