It is said the eyes are the window to the soul, but did you know your oral health is the window to your overall health?.
At Howard County Family Dentistry we want you to know that the condition of your oral health plays a very important role in your overall health.
According to the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), more than 90 percent of all systemic (overall) diseases have oral health symptoms.
Research shows that poor oral health can be a sign of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, premature births, and osteoporosis.
The first step in maintaining a healthy mouth is preventing tooth decay, and sealants can offer major protection against cavities.
Your teeth are covered with a sticky film of bacteria, called plaque.
When you don't clean you teeth after eating, plaque bacteria use sugar and starch in food as a source of energy.
The bacteria convert the sugar or starch into harmful acids that attack tooth enamel for as long as twenty minutes or more.
Repeated attacks may cause the enamel to break down, resulting in cavities.
In addition to the meticulous cleaning, polishing, and examination of your teeth, we also take the time to help our patients develop proper oral hygiene habits at home.
We will evaluate your hygiene techniques and make adjustments to your routine where needed.
Our doctors and hygienists will also make suggestions for preventative measures such as dental sealants or nightguards to protect against bruxism & TMJ.
If we feel that you are suffering from gingivitis or more severe gum disease, we may recommend a root scaling or planing.
