Why our teeth are so important
  • Teeth help us to chew and digest food. They help
    us to talk, and to pronounce different sounds
    clearly. Finally, teeth help to give our face its
    shape. A healthy smile can be a great asset and
    because this is so important, it makes sense to
    give your teeth the best care possible. Moreover
    Healthy teeth save us from many oral diseases
    includes cancer.

The Mouth and Body Connection
  • Mouth has direct contact with our whole body.
    What goes through those lips and over those gums
    can have a significant effect on your total body
    health. Anything you put in your mouth has the
    potential to create medical problems in the rest
    of your body. Luckily, our bodies are developed
    to combat most bad bacteria, organisms, and germs
    through our digestive processes

Gingivitis and Periodontal Diseases
  • In its simplest form, Gingivitis is a precursor
    to Periodontal Disease. Gingivitis is caused by a
    build-up of plaque at the gum line that causes
    irritation. Its most noticeable by bleeding of
    the gums when brushing the teeth.

Tarter Build Up
  • Left too long, plaque can harden and become a
    tarter build-up on the teeth. The causes
    swelling. The swelling creates access points for
    food and other particles to become lodged below
    the gum line. These particles cannot be removed
    with normal brushing. Over a period of time, the
    gums become abscessed.

The Abscess
  • An abscess is a condition in the mouth known as
    full-blown periodontal disease. This is caused by
    a build-up of Spirochetes bacterium, which can be
    a killer. The Spirochetes bacterium grows in the
    deep recesses of the gums and is linked to many
    chronic medical problems throughout the rest of
    your body. Some of these conditions are heart
    disease, diabetes, arthritis, and some cancers.
    The bacterium is even tied to Syphilis and Lyme
    disease.
