How can oral hygiene improve your health?


Oral hygiene involves the maintenance of your teeth and other oral tissues, free from disease and decay. It involves regular flossing and brushing. It is important that you visit the dentist at least twice a calendar year for a professional dental exam. Untreated dental problems can lead to more serious health problems. Good oral hygiene can save you from having to undergo serious dental surgery. We've discussed the importance of dental health in this article and the benefits of improving your oral hygiene.

  • Better gum health: Regularly flossing and brushing your teeth removes any bacteria buildup and the food particles that feed it. Neglecting to maintain your dental hygiene can allow dangerous germs to grow in your mouth. Plaque can build up and cause gum disease. Gum disease is a condition that can lead to tooth loss, bleeding gums, swelling, and even sore gums.
  • Prevention of serious diseases: Good hygiene can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, dementia, and other conditions. Your risk of developing gum disease or a stroke can increase if bacteria enter your bloodstream. Any gum condition could make blood glucose control harder. Diabetes makes it more likely for patients to develop severe gum disease. However, diabetes can also lead to poor blood glucose control, which may contribute to diabetes development.
  • Poor oral hygiene is often responsible for bad breath: The condition could be worsened by an accumulation of bacteria. Regular brushing will remove this bacteria. It is possible to also remove the bacteria using mouthwash and scraping the tongue.
  • Improved respiration health: Bacteria enter your lungs instantly when you breathe. When oral germs enter your lungs, they increase your risk for respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis.
  • Reduce Gum disease: It may reduce the risk of developing certain cancers such as pancreatic and stomach cancers. Researchers do not know the cause, but some suggest that bacteria may encourage the growth of cancer cells. These risks can spike if you smoke.
