It all starts with better education,\nthough. Therefore, your dentist in Tyler weighs in to list 5 reasons why taking\na more proactive approach to your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.franklindentalcenter.com\/dental-hygiene-and-periodontal-health.html\">dental\nhealth<\/a> is the most advantageous route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #1 \u2013 Prevents Complex Conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the main ways to make life easier is to schedule\npreventive care visits every six months for cleanings and examinations. In\ndoing so, your chances of preventing plaque and tartar accumulation are much\nbetter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is significant because the primary cause of most\ncomplex oral health conditions is untreated bacteria growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #2 \u2013 No Unnecessary Suffering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental care negligence can, many times, result in suffering\nin some form or fashion. An oral health malady can unfold in one of the\nfollowing ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Tooth loss<\/li><li>Painful toothache<\/li><li>Bleeding and irritated gums <\/li><li>Lingering, sour taste in the mouth<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To reiterate, the above conditions can usually be avoided by\nmaintaining regular visits to a dentist. It\u2019s also important to perform proper\noral hygiene on a consistent basis and eat healthier foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #3 \u2013 Saves Money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preventive care visits are typically fully covered by dental\ninsurance. That\u2019s not the only way you see cost savings, though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking a more proactive approach to your oral health\nprevents the need to address complex developments down the road that require involved\nand costly restorative procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #4 \u2013 Preserves Your Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your teeth are held in place through a system of shared\ntension, the root structure, ligaments and bone. If there is a failure in just\none of these areas, the tooth can be compromised and could eventually fall out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means you could be left feeling insecure about smiling\nand unable to eat the foods you normally would. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #5 \u2013 Contributes to Your Overall Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When there is accelerated bacteria growth in your mouth, the\nproblems can be far-reaching. One of the conditions it can lead to is gum\ndisease, which is the inflammation of the gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The danger of the latter is that, untreated, it has been found\nto be linked to the development of heart disease, oral cancer, Alzheimer\u2019s\ndisease, pancreatic cancer and other serious health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is, you have an opportunity to protect yourself\nand maintain a beautiful smile by committing to scheduling your preventive care\nvisits in advance and being sure to keep your appointments. Your proactive\nefforts will be all-around beneficial!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Donna Franklin-Pitts is a graduate of Howard University.
