Take Care of Your Oral Health and Your Overall Health Will Take Care of Itself

Oral health and overall health are very important for you.Oral health is supremely important. There’s no denying that. Keeping said oral health in mint condition is almost impossible, but it can be done. Not only can it be done, it should be done. The link between your overall health and oral health is significant. When one is not performing as well, the other suffers. Its’ a topsy-turvy system that can have major impacts on the rest of your body and health. As is the case with every patient that visits our Denton, TX office, we preach oral health. Maintaining good dental hygiene is vital for the health of your body. Cavities, plaque, extensive tooth decay and more problems can lead to other problems running rampant throughout your body. If you’re ready to take your oral health to the next level, we’re here to help. Dr. Ted Dunson III is the Denton dentist you can trust. Whether it’s cavity, jaw or gum disease treatment, Denton has a place they can call home for dental procedures.

Are You Doing Your Part? Our Family Dentist in Denton Wants to Know

How do you know if you’re practicing good dental hygiene?

Quiz time!

1.)    How many minutes should you spend brushing your teeth?

2.)    How often should you floss?

3.)    When should you visit our dental office for a general checkup?

Try to answer those questions WITHOUT looking at the correct answers below.

1.)    At least two

2.)    Twice everyday

3.)    Twice a year (every six months)

Are you doing this correctly? Have you been spending two minutes brushing your teeth or have you lagged in time? Taking care of your teeth involves a lot more than just coming in for a dental cleaning or exam. It’s what you do at home that helps you maintain a healthy mouth.

There are consequences for those that don’t take care of their oral health. Risks are increased by the day and they aren’t what you want:

  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Diabetes
  • High-blood pressure
  • Cancer
  • Infertility
  • Low-birth weight

These aren’t all of them, but are the most common of the bunch. They are the last thing anyone wants to deal with and they can be avoided by simply taking grater care of your mouth. It’s that simple. Visiting us twice a year won’t hurt, either.
