Why Is Good Dental Health Important?
Your dental health is directly connected to your overall health, so it’s critical to achieve and maintain a healthy mouth. Otherwise, problems which begin in your mouth can ultimately become larger, more complicated health issues that impact your overall health and well-being. Here’s how: dental plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that constantly forms on and around your teeth, is constantly accumulating in pockets in the gums that surround the teeth. When this bacteria is allowed to multiply in the pockets between the teeth and gums, the gums become red, swollen, and inflamed, and may bleed easily. In the early stages, this is called gingivitis; if left untreated, gingivitis will advance into gum disease (periodontitis). Periodontitis occurs when the gums begin to pull away from the teeth, forming deepened spaces or pockets where more plaque collects, bacteria multiplies, and eventually causes the bone around your teeth to degenerate and be destroyed, leading to the loss of the bone that supports the teeth. This bone cannot be regenerated or replaced — when it’s gone, it’s gone.
If these oral pathogens are allowed to proliferate in the mouth they seep into the bloodstream and cause problems in other parts of the body. Recent scientific research shows that these same oral pathogens which cause periodontitis may also be linked to a host of additional health problems, including cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes.
How Can You Take Good Care of Your Dental Health?
Practicing good personal oral hygiene, including twice-daily brushing and daily flossing, is essential for achieving and maintaining good dental health. By brushing and flossing regularly, you can best combat the bacteria that cause oral disease. When you eliminate the oral bacteria that cause disease in your mouth and gums, you also significantly reduce your risk of experiencing the additional health complications that can result from those oral pathogens. Brush your teeth twice a day, and floss daily, to take good care of your dental health!
How Can Cardinal Dental in La Mesa, Ca. Help You Improve Your Dental Health?
An important way to keep plaque and oral pathogens in check is by visiting the dentist regularly for a cleaning and check-up. At Cardinal Dental of La Mesa, Ca., we encourage our patients to visit us twice a year for a thorough cleaning and check-up. Regular visits allow our team to catch any oral health issues early, and are critical for achieving good dental health.
At Cardinal Dental, we are committed to providing our patients with the newest dental technology and treatment advances in order to help you maintain optimal dental health. We offer laser treatment/therapy, which utilizes highly effective, non-invasive, painless lasers. When focused into the pockets that surround the teeth, these lasers effectively destroy the bacteria and decontaminate the entire area, a process which normally only takes about 5-10 minutes and can be completed during a routine dental care visit. Through regular cleanings, check-ups, and specialty care such as laser treatment, Cardinal Dental can help you care for your dental health.
