2. Why our teeth are so important
Teeth help us to chew and digest food. They
help us to talk, and to pronounce different
sounds clearly. Finally, teeth help to give our
face its shape. A healthy smile can be a
great asset; and because this is so
important, it makes sense to give your teeth
the best care possible. Moreover Healthy
teeth save us from many oral diseases
includes cancer.

3. The Mouth and Body Connection
Mouth has direct contact with our whole
body. What goes through those lips and over
those gums can have a significant effect on
your total body health. Anything you put in
your mouth has the potential to create
medical problems in the rest of your body.
Luckily, our bodies are developed to combat
most bad bacteria, organisms, and germs
through our digestive processes

4. Gingivitis and Periodontal Diseases
In its simplest form, Gingivitis is a precursor to Periodontal Disease. Gingivitis is
caused by a build-up of plaque at the gum line that causes irritation. It’s most
noticeable by bleeding of the gums when brushing the teeth.

5. Tarter Build Up
Left too long, plaque can harden and become a tarter build-up on the teeth. The
causes swelling. The swelling creates access points for food and other particles to
become lodged below the gum line. These particles cannot be removed with
normal brushing. Over a period of time, the gums become abscessed.

6. The Abscess
An abscess is a condition in the mouth known as full-blown periodontal disease.
This is caused by a build-up of Spirochetes bacterium, which can be a killer. The
Spirochetes bacterium grows in the deep recesses of the gums and is linked to
many chronic medical problems throughout the rest of your body. Some of these
conditions are heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and some cancers. The bacterium
is even tied to Syphilis and Lyme disease.

7. A simple routine can help prevent most dental problems:
brushing your teeth last thing at night and at least one other time during the day,
with a fluoride toothpaste
cleaning between the teeth with ‘interdental' brushes or floss at least once a day
good eating habits - having sugary foods and drinks less often, and
How do you keep your teeth and gums healthy?

9. It is important to do daily dental care but get some time to visit a
periodontist for check up. That can help you to live a healthy life
with a healthy smile. You can meet Dr. Neale William who has
great experience as a periodntist.
