We are taught from an early age that proper oral health is maintaining healthy teeth. The simple acts of brushing and flossing are instilled in us so that we maintain our pearly whites; yet, oral health is much more than clean teeth. It involves the gums and their supporting tissues, the palate, the lining of the mouth and throat, the tongue, the lips, the salivary glands, the chewing muscles, the nerves, and the bones of the upper and lower jaws. Recent research has indicated possible associations between chronic oral infections and diabetes, heart and lung disease, stroke, and low birthweight or premature births.1 In other words, oral health refers to the health of our mouth and, ultimately, supports and reflects the health of the entire body.

Good suggestions for your physical and mental well-being and that’s more important now than ever. You’ll notice we included daily brushing and flossing. That’s important to keep your teeth in good shape, since you may need to postpone your regular dental exam and cleaning.
