The Critical Need for Oral Hygiene . . .

I apologize to my followers for the absence of posts these last few days. Ironically, I have been going through some dental problems and subsequent treatments, which actually incited this one.

Most of us know that it is important to get a yearly medical check up. However, many neglect to do this. It may be due to fear, the expense, or lack of time. Whatever the excuse, a lot of things are happening in our bodies that go undetected. The more time it lingers on, the more difficult, and time consuming it can become to take care of it.

We might think, and or feel the importance of that doctors visit, or test but we procrastinate to get in there and do it.

Oral hygiene is even worse. Most don't even think about getting one's dental work updated as we should. A small percentage of us realize how much our oral hygiene plays on the rest of our bodies. There are gum diseases, not just  gingivitis but  periodontitis. Conditions such as heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, and diabetes are associated with systemic periodontitis. The scary thing is that most don't even know they have such a disease.

Going to the dentist can be costly, and few have adequate insurance in this area. But it can save your life, or at least get to a health issue before becoming chronic. Without good health, what else is left?

By having your mouth checked, you might even eliminate many other factors that might contribute to allergies, and migraines. This might even improve results in the treatments one might be going through for many other illnesses.

Think about it . . .
