Every Fourth of July, we Americans celebrate the day we declared ourselves an independent nation. This Independence Day, why not add another pledge: freedom from dental disease.
Tooth decay or gum disease have the same worst case scenario: tooth loss, something that could impact your overall health and nutrition and your appearance. But neither of these harmful conditions has to happen—you and your family can be free of dental disease by consistently following these guidelines:
Brush daily. The root cause for all dental disease is a thin film of bacteria and food particles on tooth surfaces A daily oral hygiene routine is the single best thing you can do to avoid dental disease.
Eat a tooth-friendly diet. The foods you eat can affect your dental health, for good and for ill. Diets heavy in refined sugar and other processed foods are a veritable feast for harmful oral bacteria.
See your dentist regularly. Dental visits further enhance your chances of healthy teeth and gums. Healthy Smiles Forever here at the facility can help detect dental disease in its earliest stages, which can minimize long-term damage. If you need any dental care, information or dental supplies we are happy to help. Please call us at 931-0484 or let the court nurse or front desk know to contact us to make appointment.
