We all know stress is bad for our health. You may be aware of the physical and emotional symptoms of stress such as headaches, stomachaches, and anxiety. But did you know that stress does not only have psychological effects, but it can also create significant physical impacts, including oral health issues?

September is National Gum Care Month. At Cardinal Dental, we use the opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of healthy gums and to educate our patients about the proper way to care for their gums. Consider the following tips to maintain the health of your gum tissue, teeth, and the overall health of your body.

When it comes to maintaining healthy teeth and gums (and a healthy body, too), practicing good oral hygiene is essential. Healthy oral hygiene habits work together to prevent tooth decay, tooth loss, periodontal disease, and other systemic health issues that can arise as a result of poor oral hygiene.
