Why our teeth are so important

• Teeth help us to chew and digest food. They help
  us to talk, and to pronounce different sounds
  clearly. Finally, teeth help to give our face its
  shape. A healthy smile can be a great asset and
  because this is so important, it makes sense to
  give your teeth the best care possible. Moreover
  Healthy teeth save us from many oral diseases
  includes cancer.

The Mouth and Body Connection

• Mouth has direct contact with our whole body.
  What goes through those lips and over those gums
  can have a significant effect on your total body
  health. Anything you put in your mouth has the
  potential to create medical problems in the rest
  of your body. Luckily, our bodies are developed
  to combat most bad bacteria, organisms, and germs
  through our digestive processes

Gingivitis and Periodontal Diseases

• In its simplest form, Gingivitis is a precursor
  to Periodontal Disease. Gingivitis is caused by a
  build-up of plaque at the gum line that causes
  irritation. Its most noticeable by bleeding of
  the gums when brushing the teeth.

Tarter Build Up

• Left too long, plaque can harden and become a
  tarter build-up on the teeth. The causes
  swelling. The swelling creates access points for
  food and other particles to become lodged below
  the gum line. These particles cannot be removed
  with normal brushing. Over a period of time, the
  gums become abscessed.

The Abscess

• An abscess is a condition in the mouth known as
  full-blown periodontal disease. This is caused by
  a build-up of Spirochetes bacterium, which can be
  a killer. The Spirochetes bacterium grows in the
  deep recesses of the gums and is linked to many
  chronic medical problems throughout the rest of
  your body. Some of these conditions are heart
  disease, diabetes, arthritis, and some cancers.
  The bacterium is even tied to Syphilis and Lyme
  disease.
