The Overall Health Benefits of Good Oral Hygiene

LAS VEGAS - Nov. 15, 2023 - PRLog -- Chances are that the basics of oral hygiene have been on your radar since you first got a toothbrush as a child. Like every other part of your body, your mouth is filled with bacteria – most of which are completely harmless or even essential to your general health. However, because your mouth is the entry point to your respiratory and digestive tracts, too much bad bacteria can negatively impact your overall health.

Good oral hygiene is the most effective way to prevent gum disease, which is present in about half of adults aged 30 and over and can cause loose teeth, painful chewing and bleeding. While this alone is unpleasant, research shows that the inflammation caused by gum disease is connected to a variety of diseases, including heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis and Type II diabetes.

As intimidating as gum disease and its associated conditions sound, the good news is that diligently brushing and flossing daily, along with regular visits to the dentist, is generally enough to keep the bad bacteria under control.
