This month, we’re celebrating the importance of dental hygiene! But it takes more than just daily brushing and flossing for a healthy smile — regular dental checkups and cleanings are needed to maintain optimal oral health. That’s why we’re encouraging everyone to take some time this month to book their routine dental cleaning in Airdrie.
Why Is Dental Hygiene So Important?
Good oral health is essential to your overall well-being. Most of us try to eat well, exercise, and get enough sleep to maintain our physical health. So why would we cut corners when it comes to our mouths?
Did you know? People with poor oral health have a 4.5 times higher risk of having a stroke. Good oral hygiene can also prevent other serious complications, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues.
With regular dental cleanings, you can also prevent:
- Cavities: Caused by plaque buildup that can eat away at your tooth enamel.
- Gum Disease: Like gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), that can turn into a serious infection damaging the gums and surrounding bone.
- Bad Breath: Resulting from bacteria and plaque buildup (halitosis).
