Why Dental Checkups are Important
If you follow this Costa Mesa dentist’s office blog you will remember that there is a connection between the mouth and the body. The connection seems to be inflammation. Inflammation from periodontal disease.
Because gum disease means bacteria, plaque and tartar, pockets develop between teeth and gums. When that happens the debris travels through your bloodstream to other parts of the body including your heart.
Statistics show that people with heart disease almost always have gum disease. People who have heart attacks and have suffered from a stroke are 90 percent more likely to have suffered or still suffer from periodontitis as well. This is if they survived the stroke or heart attack
Professional Cleanings
With twice yearly professional cleanings, or more if you are prone to periodontitis, you are keeping gum disease and decay at bay. What’s more if you keep up your oral hygiene routine you may never have to deal with either again.
Regular dental checkups in Costa Mesa mean higher self-esteem as well. Just think how much better you feel after your teeth have been cleaned. Once you remember you will be picking up the phone to schedule an appointment.
