A healthy body starts with a healthy mouth.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey smile fans! Your smile team is here to bring you the facts about what can happen if you neglect your dental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the condition of your mouth can reflect the condition of your body, chances are as your Oral Health caretakers, we may be the first to see signs of a health risk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Dental visits should never replace the care of your general physician in any way. However, regular six-month dental exams<\/a> are an important part of your overall healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inflamed Gums Give Bacteria an Open Door<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many studies show now that neglecting your dental hygiene may be damaging to your overall health<\/a>.  Chronic bad breath and gums that are bleeding, tender, swollen or recessed are all signs of an infection. If untreated, a bacterial infection in your gums can progress to attack the ligaments and bone<\/a> surrounding your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deeper pockets from between your teeth and gums, allowing more bacteria to grow. This stage, periodontitis<\/a>, is the most advanced form of gum disease<\/a>, and the most damaging to your dental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help Keep Harmful Bacteria Out of Your Bloodstream<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the toxins from bacteria continue to inflame your gums and jawbone, easy passage into your bloodstream is created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vital organs, including your heart and lungs can be seriously damaged in the process. With regular dental cleanings<\/a> and good oral hygiene, you can eliminate <\/strong>gum disease<\/strong><\/a>, improve your oral and overall health, and possibly live longer!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
