What do you think of when you hear the term dental or oral hygiene? Brushing and flossing tend to come to mind, since that is what the terms imply.<\/p>\n

What you might not know, however, is that good dental hygiene involves much more than just your mouth. That\u2019s the tip of the iceberg \u2026 just a piece of the complex puzzle that is the human body.<\/p>\n

Simply put, you cannot be fully healthy if you don\u2019t have good oral health. Studies have shown that oral health and body health are closely linked and in fact almost impossible to define as separate phenomena.<\/p>\n

Take gum disease, for example. It\u2019s one of the most common dental infections, but it doesn\u2019t just affect your gums. According to the Academy of General Dentistry, gum disease can be directly linked to more serious complications such as strokes and heart disease. Doesn\u2019t that make you want to floss a little more often?<\/p>\n

This goes the other way, too. Many oral events like sores, swollen gums, and dry mouth syndrome, which might seem fairly trivial and even harmless, may be signals of a much bigger problem: possibly leukemia, kidney disease, diabetes, or pancreatic cancer.<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve been made aware of just how vital dental health is for your overall health (and vice versa), the best thing to do is what you\u2019re probably already doing: making sure you brush and floss, as well as maintain a well-balanced diet. It\u2019s also smart to keep away from cigarettes and tobacco, because both are known to contribute to periodontal disease.<\/p>\n

In addition, be sure to keep getting your teeth cleaned every six months! If you\u2019re due for a cleaning, give our Boise, Idaho office a call to schedule an appointment at Lowry Dental, LLP.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
