WHY ORAL HEALTH IS IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE?


Oral health is essential to overall health. Good oral health improves a person’s ability to speak, smile, smell, taste, touch, chew, swallow, and make facial expressions to show feelings and emotions.


Brush twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste and clean in between your teeth with floss or small brushes daily. Drink fluoridated tap water. Wear a mouthguard when playing sport as dental injuries can cause pain and loss of teeth. Don’t smoke as it contributes to gum disease and oral cancer. Minimise sugar in your diet. Sugars help bacteria turn into acids that cause decay. If you eat or drink something sugary or acidic, rinse your mouth with water afterwards.


Also, contact your dentist as soon as an oral health problem arises. Taking care of your oral health is an investment in your overall health.
