Keeping your mouth healthy is more important than you might think, especially as we enjoy the warmer months and all the summer treats that come with them. Brushing and flossing twice a day clears away plaque before it can harden into tartar, which helps prevent gum disease like gingivitis and periodontitis. These conditions are linked to serious health issues, including heart concerns, stroke, and even complications during pregnancy. Don't forget to brush your tongue, too, since it can hold onto bacteria that regular brushing might miss. Poor oral hygiene can also be a sign of underlying health issues such as diabetes, ADHD, or osteoporosis. Your oral care routine is one of your best defenses for both your mouth and your overall health. Be sure to schedule your regular visits with your dentist to keep your teeth and gums at their best.
