Emphasize Oral Hygiene

Of all the plans people make at the dawn of a new
year, getting healthier is often at the top of the list.
Although many individuals are concerned about shed-
ding a few pound, there are many other ways to focus
on health in the upcoming months, including paying
more attention to dental hygiene. Proper dental care
can not only keep a smile bright, it can affect other
areas of the body.

One of the keys to oral health is the use of fluoride
to prevent dental caries. In fact, many health pro-
fessionals will say that exposure to fluoride, whether
through use of toothpaste or fluoridated water sup-
plies, is probably the most effective cavity-prevention
treatment available. Fluoride helps the teeth in a
number of ways.

Fluoride can promote tooth remineralization.
This means it attracts other minerals, particularly cal-
cium, to the areas of the teeth where tooth decay can
form, helping to strengthen teeth. Fluoride also helps
to make teeth more resistant to decay. New tooth min-
eral created when fluoride is present helps to make
teeth harder, making it more difficult for acids and
bacteria to penetrate the enamel of the teeth and
cause damage.

HEART DISEASE
The millions of bacteria that proliferate inside of
the mouth and contribute to dental cavities also can
affect other areas of the body. Evidence suggests the
same bacteria that can cause plaque and gum dis-
ease may lead to cardiovascular problems. According
to information from Harvard Medical School, several
species of bacteria that cause periodontitis have been
found in the atherosclerotic plaque in arteries in the
heart and elsewhere. This plaque can lead to heart
attack.
Although research is ongoing, there is reason to be-
lieve that oral bacteria could also harm blood vessels
or cause blood clots by releasing toxins that resemble
proteins found in artery walls or the bloodstream. When
the body’s immune system responds to these toxins,
blood clots may form more easily. Some evidence also
points to a correlation between inflammation in the
mouth and inflammation in the body.
With the new year upon us, now may be the ideal
time for men and women to take inventory of their
personal health. Schedule a physical examination
with a doctor, visit an optometrist or opthalmologist
for an eye exam and remember to visit the dentist for a
cleaning, check up and a possible fluoride treatment to
protect the mouth and body.
