Are you someone who is health conscious? Someone who wants to be fit, and someone who believes in regular health checkups? Great! In that case, this article is surely meant to be for you. Or wait you said you are not! Well, in that case, you should definitely read this article. Being healthy is not being free of pain, and being healthy involves all the aspects of physical, mental, and not to forget the dental health. Teeth are those crucial portions of our body which can alternatively be called as the “gateway that leads to all other organs”, it is your teeth which determine the extent to which you can chew, the kind of food that you can consume and besides these the health of your teeth also determines your overall general health status. You may be surprised to know that dental infection can be the reason why your blood sugar levels may still be high despite the best of care you take. Ignoring the teeth can cost you a lot more than the bills that you pay to your dentist. Thus, it is important for you to know the early signs of the dental disease, the right way of maintaining your teeth and knowing when to visit your dentist in order to maintain your teeth in a state of good health.
In order to maintain your teeth in a good state of health, follow some simple rules; brush your teeth twice daily with any toothpaste of your preference and with a soft/medium bristled toothbrush do not use finger/alternative means of cleaning your teeth, change your toothbrush once in every three months irrespective of the condition of your brush at that point, make sure to use dental floss in areas where your food is getting stuck, and visit your dentist once in every six months without even having any dental problems. Remember mouthwashes are only used for the freshness of breath or may be medicated and prescribed by your dentist for a reason, they are not the replacements for brushing your teeth.
Unfortunately because of the hard white enamel which covers our teeth we do not become aware of the smaller or bigger problems of our teeth at the earlier stages. However, some early signs that you may get if you are developing a dental disease include sensitivity on eating sweet food and cold food, bleeding from your gums, food getting stuck in between your teeth, and bad breath from the mouth. Because these problems do not affect your routine work you may end up ignoring it to an extent where it is painful and your dentist is left with fewer options to save your tooth. Remember the teeth always give some smaller signals to you so that they can be saved at the right time which if not noticed or ignored the teeth may need to be removed. Despite any problems that you have or not make it a rule to visit your dentist once in every six months, this is the minimum time needed for any dental disease to grow up and show up, your dentist will identify and treat the problem at the initial stage, or alternatively if there is no problem at all then by just a regular checkup your dentist will guide you on what extra you may be needing to maintain them for a longer state. Lastly, remember that your teeth do not come with an age limit; they are meant to last as long as you do, so follow the little instructions that they come with and they will make sure that you relish all your favorite foods for always!
