Why Should We Take Care Of Our Teeth?

  1. Healthy teeth and gums feel good; unhealthy teeth and gums hurt.
  2. Unhealthy and untreated teeth and gums can affect other parts of the body. For example, an infection in your mouth can spread to your jaw, neck, or brain.
  3. If we take care of our teeth and gums, they will last longer and perform their biting and chewing jobs well.
  4. Unhealthy teeth and gums can lead to food and temperature sensitivities.
  5. When your teeth first start to get dirty, they acquire plaque, the soft fuzzy stuff on your teeth. If your teeth aren’t cleaned properly that plaque turns into calculus, which is hard and which you won’t be able to remove yourself. Dentists have the right tools to remove calculus.

Healthy Teeth and Gums

Keeping your teeth and gums healthy is important for lots of reasons. Here are some of those reasons below:

Chewing:
If you are missing teeth or your teeth or gums hurt, you’re going to have a tough time biting into Aunt Sylvia’s BLT on toast.
Talking:
Having teeth or not having teeth affects your speech.
Infections:
An infection or abscess in the mouth can spread to other parts of the body.
Pain:
Healthy teeth and gums don’t hurt. Unhealthy teeth or gums can be very painful because they can lead to sensitivities, cavities, and abscesses.
Appearance:
Healthy teeth and gums look better than unhealthy teeth and gums. Some people are very self-conscious about the way their teeth look.
Healthy Bones:
The teeth in your mouth are attached to your jaw bones. If you lose teeth, then the bones in the jaw start to suffer bone loss. That’s why old people without teeth have a shrunken appearance around the mouth. Keeping your teeth healthy and in your jaw keeps that jaw healthy and strong.
