Dental Hygiene

How good oral hygiene can improve overall health and wellness

Your smile tells a lot about you. It can have a positive (or negative) effect on how others perceive you. A bright smile gives you the confidence and improved self-esteem you need to look and feel your best. Problems with the smile, such as periodontal disease and tooth decay, can result in several issues affecting the health and appearance of the teeth and gums. By working with a dentist in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, who provides dental hygiene services, you can achieve and maintain good oral hygiene for life! 

Dr. Allison Konick and her team of professionals at Kind Smiles Dental Health are here to assist you in keeping your smile healthy over the years.

How does good oral hygiene improve overall health and wellness?

You may be familiar with the condition known as gum disease or “periodontal disease.” Periodontal disease is an infection known for causing significant damage to the smile. It can result in significant loss of the gum tissue, bone, and even natural adult teeth. However, many patients are unaware of the oral-systemic connection and how periodontal disease can impact their overall health. 

The bacteria present in the mouth that causes periodontal disease travels through the bloodstream and throughout the body. This can cause inflammation elsewhere, such as the heart and other primary organs. Individuals diagnosed with periodontal disease may have other coexisting medical conditions, including an increased risk of heart disease, strokes, and even Alzheimer’s. By achieving and maintaining oral health with the help of our team at Kind Smiles Dental Health, you can significantly reduce your potential risk of other problems throughout the body!
