Oral and Dental Health

Oral and dental health is a very much important aspect of our life but usually is often not cared and valued. Mouth is a window for the health of our whole body. It can show signs from nutritional deficiencies to some general or major infections. Systemic diseases, those that affect the entire body, may first become apparent because of mouth lesions or other oral problems.

It is easy to practice a good oral health and hygiene by always brushing teeth twice a day with a good fluoride toothpaste, using floss or other interdental cleaner for cleaning between the teeth once a day, changing the toothbrush after every three or four months and by eating a good  balanced diet and limiting between-meal snacks. We should not forget to schedule a regular dental check-up to keep our smile, and ourselves, healthy.
