At our Pearland dental office, our specialists are very used to hearing a certain phrase: “It doesn’t hurt.”We know a lot of people, in both our professional and personal lives, who live with dental issues simply because there’s no pain involved. We believe this needs to end, and that’s why we want to let you know that just because it doesn’t hurt, doesn’t mean it isn’t doing damage. Whether you have a broken tooth or bleeding gums, not everyone experiences dental issues the same way. Some people go through life without every having a major toothache, but are they really healthier than the person in pain? Not necessarily…
How Small Problems Become Big Problems
You might think that you’re living your life the right way. Maybe you’re running every day, or maybe you’re on the latest fad diet. These won’t mean all that much if you aren’t taking proper care of your teeth. Any dental issue, regardless of size, can leave your teeth and gums susceptible to decay and infection. It doesn’t stop there either.
When your gums become unhealthy and inflamed, oral bacteria builds up in your mouth and spreads throughout your body. This can lead to a number of different health conditions, ranging from cancer and heart disease to Alzheimer’s and strokes. Eight out of 10 adults already have gum disease, and half of them don’t even know it.
Care for Your Teeth, Care for You
At our dental clinic, our specialists believe in a holistic approach to dentistry. When we take care of you, we’re taking care of all of you. Many people don’t consider how connected their mouth is to the rest of their body. Just like the first thing people might notice about you is your smile, your mouth is where it all starts. You inhale and ingest bacteria regularly, and your body is equipped to take care of it, but you need to take care of your mouth, and we can help.
