As the countdown to the new year continues, many of us will be making plans and intentions for a healthier 2023 as the new year approaches. While maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise are vital, many people in Orem overlook the necessity of keeping their teeth and gums in good condition.

Value of Good Oral Hygiene in Overall Health

In general, having healthy teeth is crucial. Taking care of our teeth and gums is an important part of maintaining overall health, and it also helps us feel more confident and comfortable in our own skin. It’s important to take care of your teeth and gums all year. Keeping your teeth healthy for life requires brushing twice a day, limiting sugar intake, and scheduling regular dental appointments.

The Threat of Gum Disease

Inflamed, painful, and swollen gums are a frequent symptom of gum disease, an infection of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth and the patient’s mouth. Bad breath and bleeding gums during brushing are two common indicators of gum disease. 

If the underlying condition isn’t addressed, teeth might become loose and even fall off. Taking care of your teeth and gums can help lower your chances of developing diseases and some types of dementia.

Allow Your Beautiful Smile to Boost Your Self-Assurance.

When you look nice, you feel fantastic! If you take pride in your looks, you will be more motivated to learn, grow, and connect with people. If you have lost teeth, have discolored teeth, or have stains on your teeth, you may feel embarrassed to smile in public.

Our skilled staff at Canyon Gate Dental are committed to both preventing and repairing dental damage. No matter what kind of dental work you need to be done (cosmetic, implant, veneer, filling, crown, or root canal), we can help you find the ideal dentist for your needs.
