Smile Bright: Celebrate Dental Hygiene Month for a Healthier, Happier You with PrimeCare Family Dental
Celebrate Dental Hygiene Month this October with
PrimeCare Family Dental! Prioritize your dental health while you
celebrate!
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, don’t
hesitate to seek help from a dentist:
Tender, swollen, or bleeding gums
Spots on your teeth or other changes in your mouth
Dry mouth
Cavities, in particular, are a common issue that affects individuals of
all ages. They not only carry the risk of painful infections and
difficulties with speaking and eating, but they also provide crucial
insights into overall health. Often, oral conditions may not cause
pain or obvious symptoms until they progress to a more serious
stage. This is one of the main reasons regular dental checkups are
so important, as they allow for a professional examination.
Health Issues Associated with Inadequate Dental Care:
Respiratory infections
Heart disease
Endocarditis
Diabetes
Dementia
Rheumatoid arthritis
You can take the following actions to maintain your dental health:
Brush twice a day
Floss daily
Minimize the intake of sugary foods and drinks
Get professional cleanings and dental examinations at least once a year
Schedule additional dental appointments as advised by your healthcare
provider
If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms listed, please
schedule a dental check-up as soon as possible, as early
treatment of oral conditions is typically easier.
At PrimeCare Family Dental, our dedicated staff is always here to help you!
