Dental Insurance

A healthy mouth promotes good health throughout the body. Regular dental care is important because your teeth and gums can affect how and what you eat and how you feel. Did you know that diabetes and heart disease have been linked to gum disease?

Here are some of the main reasons you want to maintain good dental care:

1. To Prevent Gum Disease: Gum disease is an infection in the gum tissue and bones that hold your teeth in place. This is the leading cause of adult tooth loss. If diagnosed early, gum disease can be treated and often reversed. Regular dental cleanings, checkups, regular dental flossing and teeth brushing are the key factors for preventing gum disease.

2. To Prevent Oral Cancer: Routine checkups and screening by your dentist will help spot any issues in your mouth that could become cancerous. One person dies of oral cancer each day in the United States.

3. To Maintain Good Oral and Physical Health: Early detection of cavities, broken or missing fillings or cracked teeth can prevent removal of teeth, root canals and costly, painful procedures. Studies have linked heart attacks and strokes to poor oral hygiene.

4. To Keep Your Teeth: Keeping your natural teeth is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your health, especially as you grow older. The inability to chew foods properly can lead to illnesses or malnutrition in the older population. We may not think about this when we are young, but pay for the neglect when as we age.
