This New Year, why not resolve to improve your dental health? It could help improve your overall health too!
Eat More Fruits and Vegetables
Eating well protects your dental health, ensuring your body has all the nutrients needed to fight oral diseases like gum disease. It also helps your general health too, and summer is the perfect time to add more seasonal fruits and vegetables to your diet.
Quit Smoking
Tobacco increases the risk of oral cancer, lung cancer and gum disease and tooth decay. It stains and discolours your teeth and can give you bad breath. Plan to spend the money you save on something nice.
Brush Twice a Day and Floss Daily
An effective oral hygiene routine can prevent many common dental problems like gum disease and tooth decay. Gum disease is especially concerning because it can cause tooth loss and could even negatively impact your general health.
See Your Dentist Regularly
Lastly, don’t forget to book your regular dental examinations and cleanings here at Diverse Dental. Regular preventative dentistry is by far the most effective way to keep your mouth in great shape. Often, the earliest signs of general health problems are visible in the mouth, so dental exams are an excellent way to look after your general health and to enjoy a happy and hopefully healthy New Year.
