Dental Health and Overall Health
Good dental health goes beyond the way you look.
The mouth is the gateway to the body, which means
the state of your teeth and gums affects your overall
health.

• Brush Regularly
• Floss Daily
• Visit your Dentist
• Eat a Healthy Diet
• Don't Smoke
• Consider Cosmetic Procedures

Brush Regularly
Brushing is the cornerstone of dental hygiene.
It removes food particles that bacteria feed on,
cleans teeth, and freshens breath. A toothpaste
with fluoride helps strengthen teeth, but you
must brush for at least two minutes to allow it to
do its work

Floss Daily
Flossing removes the bacteria from in between
your teeth that your toothbrush does not reach,
which helps prevent gum disease. Do flossing
twice a day.

Visit Your Dentist
Visit your dentist at least twice a year. Your dentist can
spot the early signs of gum disease.
If you notice signs of trouble, make an extra dental
appointment to have them checked out.
Pregnant women, people with diabetes, undergoing
chemotherapy treatment or using medications that can
affect the gums or dry out the mouth should consider
dental-hygiene regimen.

Eat a Healthy Diet
Dental Diet
Healthy Diet Unhealthy Diet
Include plenty of dairy
and other calcium-rich
foods, like sardines and
kale, in your diet.
Sugary and sticky foods
that stick to the crevices of
your teeth are particularly
bad.

Don't Smoke
Dental Disease Ratio

Using smokeless tobacco increases a person's
risk for oral cancers, including lip, tongue,
cheeks, and gums. On a smaller scale, tobacco
products contribute to bad breath, or halitosis.

Consider Cosmetic Procedures
There have been great advances in cosmetic
dentistry over the years, and it is possible to fix
most cosmetic problems. Veneers and
Orthodontics are good examples of cosmetic
dentistry
