9. Visiting a dentist twice a year
helps to catch things that would
otherwise remain hidden.
In the case of gum disease, this
is huge.
10. Gum disease doesn’t just affect
your mouth and your breath.
It also can affect your heart and
your overall health.
11. This is because bacteria can enter
your bloodstream through your
gums and cause problems for the
rest of your body.
12. In fact, the dentist is usually
one of the first people to spot
potential health issues.
Regularly visiting the dentist
helps reduce other oral issues
as well.
14. Properly brushing your teeth can
reduce the risk for gum disease.
However, most people don’t
know how.
15. For starters, you want a soft-
bristled brush.
You will want to hold your
toothbrush at a 45-degree angle
to help clean the area between
your teeth and your gum-line.
16. Don’t be afraid to apply some
pressure. If your gums bleed,
it could be an early indication
of gum disease.
19. If you brush your teeth correctly
but don’t floss, your mouth will
only be 60% clean, at best.
20. And this is assuming you haven’t
accumulated any plaque from the last
time you brushed.
Think about what this does to your breath
and your overall health.
21. It is this bacteria that makes plaque.
Bacteria in your mouth creates a biofilm
that adheres itself to the teeth, which
causes tooth decay and gum disease.
23. Carbohydrates, which are basically sugar, create the perfect
environment for plaque to form.
The average American diet is comprised largely of carbohydrates.
24. While you can’t, and shouldn’t, escape all carbohydrates, it
is advisable to reduce the amount of simple carbohydrates
in your diet.
25. Fruit, whole grain fiber and other
types of grains have healthy
sugars, but these sugars can also
increase plaque.
26. Brushing your teeth after every
meal is the ideal goal.
However, if you are unable to, be
sure to brush at least twice a day.
27. If gum disease wasn’t bad enough,
the knowledge of bacteria in the
mouth is unsettling.
28. Bacteria can multiply, form microcolonies and
even develop a primitive circulatory system.
29. If you find yourself in a position
where you can’t brush or floss
immediately, rinse your mouth
or chew gum after a meal.
30. Using mouthwash can also reduce
bacteria to reduce your risk of
gum disease.
31. Just remember that the less bacteria you have
in your mouth the less likely it will be for you
to develop gum disease.
