Why tooth cleaning is important for overall wellbeing

Have you ever wondered why you developed a bad tooth even when you brushed your teeth consistently everyday for as long as you can remember? Have you also wondered why dentists ask you to come for regular oral check up every six months? Well the reasons are not far from the fact that most of the diseases that ravage the body have been strongly linked to what we allow to go into our systems through the mouth in form of food or drinks and the need to have professional oral cleaning therefore becomes pertinent.

Research has shown and experts agree that there is a correlation between poor oral health and chronic inflammatory diseases such as: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other problems such as: stroke, premature and low birth weight.

Besides, researchers have discovered that there is a link between overall wellbeing of your body and oral health. Even if you think do not need any major cleaning probably because of the one you do at home; I strongly suggest that everyone should go twice a year to be checked for oral cancer and signs of other diseases whose symptoms first appear in the mouth. We also give advice on home care dental cleaning such as the best type of tooth paste to use if you have a particular tooth problem like sensitive teeth or periodontal gum disease.

Dental research equally reveals that it takes decay in the tooth about 6 months from the moment it starts to penetrate the enamel, before it can be detected by a dentist. In effect, the recommendation to visit a dentist every 6 months is to catch tooth decay early before it does serious damage to the tooth.
